News, Neoliberalism, and Miami's Fragmented Urban Space

News, Neoliberalism, and Miami''s Fragmented Urban Space examines cultural and social forces responsible for inequalities that have emerged in the rampant development of Miami as a “world city.” The press is central to this book’s argument that neoliberal movements rely on the power of journalistic discourses to authorize and legitimize harmful social acts such as gentrification. Robert E. Gutsche, Jr. and Moses Shumow provide original analyses of intersections among memory, race, capitalism, and journalistic power particularly at a time of immense political and environmental change as the region faces rising sea levels. Through geo-semiotics, textual analysis, and a critical lens, the authors examine change as it occurs in neighborhoods and in public-private development that are bound to widen an already great divide between classes and races in South Florida.
