This volume of essays explores how the global city is confronting new forms of crises and disruption. Examining cities in the Caribbean, North America, Africa, the Persian Gulf, Asia and Australia, the essays use literary and cultural analysis to examine the pasts, present and futures of the global city. Ranging from the period of high postcolonial development, industrialization and compacted modernization to present-day neoliberal urban planning, the collection considers arrivals and departures in the global city, offering new critical vocabularies to analyse ongoing processes of migration, economic immiseration, and environmental collapse.
