Description
Twenty years on from its original publication, Times Square Red, Times Square Blue remains a powerful exploration of a rapidly changing urban landscape. In the 1970s, Forty-second Street was a vibrant hub of activity, but as the area was transformed into a sanitized tourist destination, Samuel R. Delany witnessed the loss of a unique social dynamic.
This hybrid text, first published in 1979, is a poignant account of the dismantling of institutions that brought people together in public spaces. Delany argues for the importance of public restrooms and green spaces in a city's physical and psychological landscape. A new foreword by Robert Reid-Pharr highlights the enduring relevance of Delany's work.
First published in 1979, this twentieth anniversary edition of Times Square Red, Times Square Blue offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of urban development and social relationships.
