Description
Marshall Berman's Modernism in the Streets is a collection of essays that trace his intellectual life and career as a thinker. Spanning multiple decades and topics, from radical '60s politics to late 20th-century literary figures and contemporary issues like gentrification. This book offers a unique insight into Berman's multifaceted interests and his distinctive approach to understanding the world around him. Through his essays, he explores the connections between culture, politics, and society, revealing a thinker who was both deeply rooted in his time and remarkably prescient. From early explorations of New York City to his final essay completed just before his death in 2013, Modernism in the Streets presents Berman's intellectual autobiography, one that is as much about the city he loved as it is about the ideas that shaped him.
