{"product_id":"sex-and-the-revitalized-city-leslie-kern-9780774818223","title":"Sex and the Revitalized City: Gender, Condominium Development, and Urban Citizenship","description":"When a recent wave of condominium development overtook Toronto, women emerged as powerful consumers, and reports claimed that home ownership was offering young, single women freedom, financial independence, and personal security. \u003ci\u003eSex and the Revitalized City\u003c\/i\u003e examines the truth of these claims by exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of women condo owners and planners and developers. This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals that condo ownership is not freeing women from constraints - neoliberal ideologies are remaking women's relationship with the city in the image of fast capital and consumer citizenship. Women's emancipation through condominium ownership is a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in gender relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Kern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774818220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774818223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 109","brand":"Leslie Kern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086849650943,"sku":"9780774818223","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a09ca50a-7cf7-4182-a2f1-e61aacdc92f7.jpg?v=1769096943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sex-and-the-revitalized-city-leslie-kern-9780774818223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
