“Both volumes show that urban research is an indispensable source of ethnographic data precisely because it takes place in settings that are transformed, sometimes invisibly and sometimes clearly, and that these places act as mediators of social practice, a fact that in turn counteract through space and shape it. … Krase and DeSena offer an excellent work, a springboard for knowledge and future research.” (Manos Spyridakis, Urbanities-Journal of Urban Ethnography, Vol. 11 (1), May, 2021)
