We have discovered a group of sociologists from different colleges and universities studying Brooklyn. Brooklyn has always been legendary, and has more recently regained its stature as the "hippest" borough. We think a collection of demographic, ethnographic, and comparative studies which focus on urban dynamics is timely. The volume, tentatively titled THE WORLD IN BROOKLYN, BROOKLYN IN THE WORLD: GENTRIFICATION, IMMIGRATION, AND ETHNIC POLITICS IN A GLOBAL CITY, will be edited by Judith DeSena (St. John's University) and Tim Shortell(Brooklyn College CUNY). We are soliciting articles on immigration, gentrification, globalization, ethnic politics, development, poverty, and contested landscapes.
