Trees versus People: Urban Climate Adaptation and Popular Politics on New York City’s Lower East Side
This article analyzes a contentious battle over New York City’s plan for major climate adaptation infrastructure in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Drawing on an analysis of the history of housing development and ethnographic fieldwork conducted among residents and community advocates between 2018 and 2021, I analyze how and why the city’s plan for the East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) project—a US$1.5 billion sea wall and park—led to a bitte…

Barrio-based community television activists at Catia TVe, who are aligned with the Chávez government, work in a context of competing regimes of truth about the status of Ven…

Drawing on interviews and observations with distributors and activists in New York City in 2004 and ethnographic fieldwork with community media producers in Caracas between 2003 and 2007, I explore how social actors contribute to…
