It's a nice read for someone who's read many books and texts on how the cities and urbanism *looked* throughout history, and a few on history, but not enough on the way societies looked and the way they used to live in these cities, and not enough on precisely how the societies and urbanism influenced eachoter (- ie. it was a good read for me). What I always love about historic texts on urbanism is how they are histories - minus the wars and revolutions. Which is consistent with my dream that wars and revolutions are consequences of wrong actions or inequalities or mistakes and are fully preventable in ideal future. Alas, I'm only further itching for a similar read of a latter date which will have more of a philosophical back-up, which will include "oriental" cultures, and which will not idealize Hristianopolis on it's communitarian values.(less)

-> that's a local (bosnian) author, and I'm not sure it's been translated anywhere, or whether it would be interesting to an audience from the first world; he basically quotes and juxtaposes theories on different "democratic" societies and the roles of ethnicity, race, nation, multi-culturalism, comunitarianism, nation-state, open society etc etc., as read in works of: Hannah Arendt, Claude Lefort, Dominique Schnapper, Will Kymlicka, Charles Taylor, Sami Zubaida, Michael Walzer, Ernest Gellner (maybe etc.?!)
