""An innovative, interdisciplinary contribution to scholarship on the relationships between cities, culture, and capital as they play out in iconic neighborhoods in Lisbon and Madrid after the fiscal crisis of 2008. Fundamental reading for those interested in urban transformation on the Iberian Peninsula."" --Malcolm A. Compitello, Founding and Executive Editor Emeritus of the Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies ""This book makes an important contribution to the fields of urban and cultural studies and cultural geography as practiced within Luso-Hispanic studies by adding the crucial but often overlooked issues of race and ethnicity to ongoing debates about the role of culture in the production of social spaces in Spain and Portugal."" --Susan Larson, editor of Comfort and Domestic Space in Modern Spain ""Who has the right to the city? Iannone's exemplary contribution to cultural studies sharply illuminates the global processes and local practices that shape Lisbon's Mouraria and Madrid's Lavapiés neighborhoods--revealing the urban as a struggle between control, commodification, contestation, resistance, and resilience."" --Benjamin Fraser, author of Obsession, Aesthetics, and the Iberian City The Partial Madness of Modern Urban Culture ""This innovative study of two neighborhoods makes a significant contribution to the field of urban cultural studies. Starting with an analysis of branding and development in Spain and Portugal in the years following the 2008 financial crisis, Iannone then develops a stimulating account of cultural interventions that sought to contest or provide alternatives to the boom of capital-oriented urban development."" --Ellen W. Sapega, author of Consensus and Debate in Salazar's Portugal
