Race and the Cultural Spaces of Neoliberalism: Introduction (original) (raw)

This introduction outlines the relationship between neoliberalism and spatial organization, emphasizing how the restructuring of urban environments influences identity and belonging in increasingly diverse American cities. The special issue presents three interdisciplinary articles that analyze the cultural dimensions of neoliberal spaces, focusing on the roles of culture, marketing, and the arts in constructing and contesting social and racial inequalities. As urbanization continues to unfold amid financial crises, the authors explore implications for equity and representation in cultural spaces.
