    Content: " Feminist City: A Field Guide combines memoir, feminist theory, pop culture, and geography to expose what is hidden in plain sight: the social inequalities built right into our cities, homes, and neighbourhoods. Focusing on gendered experiences of the city, the books grapples with the challenge of claiming urban space amongst barriers designed to keep women in their place. From the geography of rape culture to the politics of snow removal, the city is an ongoing site of gendered struggle. Yet the city is perhaps also our best hope for shaping new social relations based around care and justice. Taking on fear, motherhood, friendship, activism, and the joys and perils of being alone, Kern maps the city from new vantage points, laying out a feminist intersectional approach to urban histories and pathways towards different urban futures. Feminist questions about safety and fear, paid and unpaid work, and rights and representation prompt us to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and open space to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and care-full cities together."
    Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: March 16, 2020 In this insightful scholarly work, Kern ( Sex and the Revitalized City ), a professor of geography and environment at Mount Allison University, uses the framework of “feminist geography” to explore how women interact with and are affected by urban spaces. Contending that the structural realities and power dynamics of cities privilege white males, Kern shares her personal experiences as a college student “perform acts of safety and precaution” with female friends in Toronto, and as a stroller-pushing, multitasking mother attempting to navigate London’s public transportation system. She acknowledges that the space she inhabits as a white, able-bodied woman holds inherent privilege in relation to the experiences of women of color and disabled people, and notes that many things that make affluent white women feel safer, such as avoiding “dangerous” areas and increased policing, negatively impact the lives of sex workers, immigrants, queer people, and minorities, while doing nothing to abolish the patriarchy. Kern defends women’s experiences of fear as rational reactions to the urban environment, and hopes that increased representation among urban planners and policy makers will result in more inclusive cityscapes. Her mix of the personal and the academic reveals the nature of the problem, but offers few concrete answers. This provocative analysis will resonate with theoretically minded feminists."

    Content: " From the author of the best-selling Feminist City, this urbanite's guide to gentrification knocks down the myths and exposes the forces behind the most urgent housing crisis of our time. Gentrification is no longer a phenomenon to be debated by geographers or downplayed by urban planners8212 it's an experience lived and felt by working-class people everywhere. Leslie Kern travels to Toronto, Vancouver, New York, London, and Paris to look beyond the familiar and false stories we tell ourselves about class, money, and taste. What she brings back is an accessible, radical guide on the often-invisible forces that shape urban neighbourhoods: settler-colonialism, racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and more. Gentrification is not inevitable if city lovers work together to turn the tide. Kern examines resistance strategies from around the world and calls for everyday actions that empower everyone, from displaced peoples to long-time settlers. We can mobilize, demand reparations, and rewrite the story from the ground up. "
    Content: Biographisches: " Leslie Kern is the author of three books about cities, including Feminist City: A Field Guide . She is an associate professor of geography and environment and women's and gender studies at Mount Allison University. Her research has earned a Fulbright Visiting Scholar Award, a National Housing Studies Achievement Award, and several national multi-year grants. She is also an award-winning teacher. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian , Vox , Bloomberg CityLab , and Refinery29 . Leslie lives in Sackville, New Brunswick (Mi'kma'ki) with her partner and cats. " Rezension(2): "Library Journal: In 10 succinct chapters, Kern ... defines and outlines the current arguments surrounding gentrification while focusing on the inability to adequately discuss it with each other or within communities. Each chapter contains solid examples of where, when, and why gentrification is appearing in communities, and what the impact is on each respective group. The impact of gentrification on race, class, gender, age, and Indigenous peoples are astutely explored A first class analysis and tool kit. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: June 27, 2022 Kern ( Feminist City ), a professor of geography and environment at Mount Allison University, argues in this searing yet inspirational polemic that “gentrification is built on finding ways to take what others have created while simultaneously wiping away their presence, contributions, and history.” Drawing on research from Buenos Aires, Chicago, Toronto, and other cities, Kern documents neighborhoods in the process of change and those that have stopped or reshaped gentrification. Her analysis is based on an intersectional approach that seeks to identify “the multiple axes of power that gentrification manipulates and works through” while encouraging readers to develop “a richer recognition of class as always intertwined with race, gender, sexuality, and colonialism, among other power relations.” For example, she explains how groups like artists, single moms, and students can inadvertently prime a neighborhood for gentrification, and why locals rarely benefit long-term from environmental cleanup efforts, since less-polluted neighborhoods immediately become prime real estate for developers. Kern may be largely preaching to the choir—at one point she admits she doesn’t know why “a private property developer, a landlord evicting tenants to increase the rent, or a real estate speculator” would be reading this book—but she lucidly explains modern feminist and urban theories and brings fresh insights and a measure of hope to a vexing social issue. Progressives will take heart."
