Description
Made in Brooklyn is a belated critique of the Maker Movement: from its origins in the nineteenth century to its impact on labor and its entanglement in the neoliberal economic model of the tech industry. Part history, part ethnography, Made in Brooklyn provides a unified analysis of how the tech industry has infiltrated artistic practice and urban space.
Advance Praise
Anybody
interested in artist-led urban gentrification in general, and the poster child
for this process - Brooklyn, NYC - should read this book. Combining
journalistic, ethnographic and academic perspectives, the book is an engaging,
provocative, and pleasurable. Read it and you will see your own city in new
ways.
