Summary
""The Spectacular City" is a highly original contribution to the ethnography of law, violence, and the state. Goldstein explores the connections between localism and violence both as situated action and as genres of performance, resulting in a nuanced analysis of politics between state and nonstate forms."--Carol Greenhouse, coeditor of "Ethnography in Unstable Places: Everyday Lives in Contexts of Dramatic Political Change"
