Paperback. Condición: New. 'Portable City: Modern Glasgow's Transatlantic Connections is a gem of a book. Like the modern city at the centre of its multi-faceted gaze, this wonderful volume offers us a highly original set of chapters on modern Glasgow's many different faces and facets. From an eclectic sense of expansive connections, new readings of Glasgow's reputation for grime, crime, and chronic ill-health, to thoughtful reinterpretations of its post-imperial and transatlantic aligned municipal, diasporic, and socio-cultural makeup, this new volume should be required reading for those wishing to understand Scotland's largest metropolis and, arguably, its first truly de-globalised city.' - Professor Andrew Mackillop, University of GlasgowGlasgow is Scotland's metropolis.
