Recognising European Modernities(1st Edition)
A Montage of the Present
by Allan Richard Pred
Hardcover, 296 Pages, Published 1995 by Routledge
ISBN-13: 978-0-415-11904-7, ISBN: 0-415-11904-9

"Recognising 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 present--the book challenges the contemporary obsession with "postmodernity," demanding a deeper, more connective understanding of the pleasures and dangers of the European present."






Past Is Not Dead(1st Edition)
Facts, Fictions, and Enduring Racial Stereotypes
by Allan Richard Pred
Paperback, 304 Pages, Published 2004 by Univ Of Minnesota Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8166-4406-3, ISBN: 0-8166-4406-3

"Through one figure—Badin, an eighteenth-century Afro-Caribbean slave given to the Swedish royal court—Allan Pred shows how stereotypes endure through the repeated confusion of facts and fiction, providing a highly original perspective on the perpetuation of racializing stereotypes in the West. In the first of two interlocking montages inspired by Walter Benjamin, the book focuses on Badin, who died in Stockholm in 1822, and representati ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-520-22449-0, ISBN: 0-520-22449-3

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. Through the cascading juxtaposition of man ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-521-02225-5, ISBN: 0-521-02225-8

"The last quarter of the nineteenth century was the most dramatic era in the social and spatial transformation of Stockholm. During this time large-scale manufacturing industry rose and eclipsed small-scale artisan sectors of production; the city's population virtually doubled and there was a rapid extension and rebuilding of the urban fabric. Allan Pred reconstructs this transformation of Stockholm's local economy, civil society and bui ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8135-1832-9, ISBN: 0-8135-1832-6

"Using both grand conceptualizations and grounded case studies, Allan Pred and Michael Watts look at how people cope with and give meaning to capitalism and modernity in different times and places. As capital accumulation has grown and taken new forms, it has affected technology and labor relations which in turn have affected people's daily lives. These changes have not always been either welcome or easy. Pred and Watts focus on the symb ..."
