Résumé:
Why Don't American Cities Burn? traces the collision of urban transformation with the rightward-moving social politics of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century America. He shows how the bifurcation of black social structures produced a new African American inequality and traces the shift from images of a pathological black "underclass" to praise of the entrepreneurial poor who take advantage of new technologies of poverty work to find the beginning of the path to the middle class. He explores the reasons American cities since the early 1970s have remained relatively free of collective violence while black men in bleak inner-city neighborhoods have turned their rage inward on one another rather than on the agents and symbols of a culture and political economy that exclude them. The book ends with a meditation on how the political left and right have come to believe that urban transformation is inevitably one of failure and decline abetted by the response of government to deindustrialization, poverty, and race. How, Katz asks, can we construct a new narrative that acknowledges the dark side of urban history even as it demonstrates the capacity of government to address the problems of cities and their residents? How can we create a politics of modest hope?

Résumé:
Neue Schriften. New Typefaces. offers insight into the world of type design. Positions in contemporary type design are presented in words and pictures: key protagonists offer insights into their thinking and working, take a position on current developments under the new technical, aesthetic and socio-political conditions. While in the 1970s just a few hundred new typefaces were published, today we can choose from tens of thousands of fonts — with an upward tendency. This publication, however, shows that current type design is not subject to randomness or a fashionable hype. Seventy different type designs present an overview of current developments. For the exhibition Call for Type. New Fonts. New Typefaces. at the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz twenty typefaces were chosen and expanded on in very personal reflections by their designers which take the form of interviews in the book. From the rich international cosmos of typefaces the book presents experimental type designs, based either on a spontaneous idea or the concept of an individually chosen design project; there are display fonts with a small range of styles or typefaces for books with large type families, which, often over a number of years, were developed systematically with passion, endurance and an unswerving attention to characteristic detail.
