Even in Sweden : racisms, racialized spaces, and the popular geographical imagination by Allan Pred( )

15 editions published between 2000 and 2011 in English and held by 2,023 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Allan Pred writes compellingly about the reawakening of racism throughout Europe at the end of the twentieth century--even in Sweden, a country widely regarded as the very model of social justice and equality. Many thousands of non-European and Muslim immigrants and refugees who took advantage of Sweden's generous immigration policies now find themselves the object of discrimination and worse

Violent geographies : fear, terror, and political violence by Derek Gregory( )

14 editions published between 2006 and 2013 in English and held by 820 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Derek Gregory and Allan Pred's Violent Geographies gathers together a group of young and well established geographers to look at how territory and space delimit and shape both terrorism and political violence in wide range of places, from the Middle East to Latin America. In short, the book shows how physical violence, especially terrorism, disrupts the distinction between the global and the local by injecting transnational politics into the intimacies of everyday life. Violent Geographies also shows how terrorism is not simply used by nonstate groups states use it as well, including many of America's allies. It goes far beyond 9/11 moving backward in history and across the globe to other locales to get at the heightened states of emergency that are occurring everywhere

City systems in advanced economies : past growth, present processes, and future development options by Allan Pred( Book )

32 editions published between 1977 and 2019 in English and Undetermined and held by 575 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"Originally published in 1977. This book provides answers to two fundamental and interrelated questions about the modern city. First, what are the processes underlying the past and present growth of 'post-industrial' metropolitan complexes and the economically advanced city-systems to which they belong? Second, what are the implications of on-going growth for efforts to reduce interregional inequalities of employment opportunity? The first section of the book introduces the basic concepts such as the properties of systems of cities. It then provides an analysis of their growth in advanced economies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and looks to further possibilities."--

The external relations of cities during "industrial revolution"; with a case study of Göteborg, Sweden, 1868-1890 by Allan Pred( Book )

18 editions published between 1962 and 1973 in English and held by 315 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This study covers some of the major adjustments in the external relations of cities during periods of industrial revolution, particularly as these alterations relate to the changing role of the city as a focal point in the regional and interregional space-economy. Four groups of hypotheses are presented and developed. The first is concerned with those external relations extending from technical innovations and the industrial scale-shifts associated with such innovations. The second group proceeds from the effects of reduced transportation costs, and the alterations in the relative accessibility of places within the regional and interregional space-economy. The third set is built upon transformations necessitated by the increased demand for food products. The fourth group comprises changes in the pattern of internal migration from rural areas to urban centers. (Author)

Recognizing European modernities : a montage of the present by Allan Pred( Book )

14 editions published between 1995 and 2014 in English and held by 289 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

For over a century Europe has been characterized by a multiplicity of capitalist modernities. At any moment, each country possesses its own distinctly modern qualities which are partly shaped through interrelationships with other countries. Each European commodity society has experienced successive, but differently overlapping, periods of industrial modernity (large-scale factories and urban growth), high modernity (social modernization promoted by social engineering) and hypermodernity (the acceleration of modernity, yielding new circumstances and sensibilities). Investigating any part of contemporary hypermodern Europe thus requires that it be brought into constellation with its industrial and high modern past. Recognizing European Modernities explores a century of civilization through a critical examination of the extreme case of Sweden. Using montage - relayering multiple pasts and on-going presents - the book challenges the contemporary obsession with "postmodernity," demanding a deeper, more informed understanding of the extended danger characteristic of the European present. The author visits three spectacular spaces: the Stockholm Exhibition of 1897, the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930, and the Globe, a contemporary multi-purpose arena. Analysis of these pivotal spaces reveals the on-going process of modernization as new forms of consumption are repeatedly entangled in changing discourses of power, both of which become reworked and translated into cultural politics
