Abstract

Books and the Arts 99 American Ruins, Camilo José Vergara photo- Detroit Metropolitan area, residents must confront graphed the same sites frequently over a ten- the troubled racial dynamics that contributed to year period, producing a time-lapse effect of urban decline and suburban development. Both once vibrant buildings decaying right before films only hint at racial politics and long-term ten- your eyes. Seeing this process illustrates the sions that have made it difficult to establish coali- political neglect that enabled the production of tions across geographical as well as racial and vacant lots so ubiquitous around the city. It class divides. Yet at their best, the films inspire shows that empty spaces are not the outcome of positive action toward economic transformation natural causes. More broadly, films like on a small scale. Urbanized, and case studies of other countries, Any city offers places and sites for ethno- for example, Germany’s restructuring and graphic study and exploration, allowing us to transformation of mines and mills into cultural diagnose a problem, see how it is produced, and institutions (such as spaces for art installations, identify possible solutions.
