But throughout history the constant risk of fire has left a deep and lasting imprint on almost every dimension of urban society. This volume, the first truly global study of urban conflagration, shows how fire has shaped cities throughout the modern world, from Europe to the imperial colonies, major trade entrepôts, and non-European capitals, right up to such present-day megacities as Lagos and Jakarta. Urban fire may hinder commerce or even spur it; it may break down or reinforce barriers of race, class, and ethnicity; it may serve as a pretext for state violence or provide an opportunity for displays of state benevolence. As this volume demonstrates, the many and varied attempts to master, marginalize, or manipulate fire can turn a natural and human hazard into a highly useful social and political tool. 000438543 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438543 650_0 $$aFires. 000438543 650_0 $$aFires$$xHistory. 000438543 7001_ $$aBankoff, Greg. 000438543 7001_ $$aLübken, Uwe. 000438543 7001_ $$aSand, Jordan,$$d1960- 000438543 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tFlammable cities.$$dMadison : University of Wisconsin Press, 2012$$z9780299283841$$w(DLC) 2011011572$$w(OCoLC)707842818 000438543 8520_ $$bacq 000438543 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438543 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000438543 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3445228$$zOnline Access 000438543 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3445228$$zOnline Access 000438543 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438543$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438543 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000438543 980__ $$aBIB 000438543 982__ $$aEbook 000438543 983__ $$aOnline
