Alternative Urbanisms and Social Deviance was written to introduce students to a more intersecting approach to U.S. urban ways of life and the socially deviant labels that may impact some subcultures or groups in the city, many of whom of whom are marginalized because of their socioeconomic status, race and/or gender and sexual identities. In the age of social media, with its nanosecond spread of current news and misinformation, learning about such an intersectional approach is essential.  Each chapter is followed by a multiple-choice quiz and reflection essay designed to further stimulate the student’s thinking process. There is also interactive discussion built into each chapter. Topics covered include the emergence of the Great Migration, urban music scenes of Hip Hop and Punk, lawlessness in formal law and order, grass roots crime prevention, the Beat Generation, gay villages, the gig economy, racial microaggressions and urban civility, environment justice, smart cities and uneven technocratic space, the new urban renewal, the iconic Black ghetto and the Black mecca, racialized labels and urban health disparities, and racially equitable communities for older adults. This book can easily be adapted to a variety of deviance-oriented courses and teaching styles.
