reviewed Sources for American Studies, Vol. 64 on August 30, 2015 Sources for American Studies, Vol. 64
Basic premise of this book is that in a postindustrial society-where image/culture, not physical goods are sold-bohemian/artistic culture is not an underground phenomenon anymore. it's central to the economy of the urban city. the case study is wicker park in chicago, as it turns from one of the city's postindustrial slums into the hip neighborhood, beginning with the arrival of mostly artists from middle class backgrounds, in the late 80s and early 90s. i liked the historical perspective (it makes comparisons of modern postindustrial model of production to the henry fordist one) and introduction to urban studies/sociology this book gave me. i also liked seeing resonances in this book to the mission district, my hood. this review makes the book sound kind of dry, but frank lloyd has a definite voice in the whole thing. he used to live in wicker park and his personal experiences there trickle in through the book. some interesting info.
