Contributors explore the school, the museum and the city as sites in which late-modern societies elaborate new narratives of globalization. These sites are some of the best crucibles for observing and evaluating present day changes linked to globalization and neoliberalism. Since the onset of modernization, these institutions have been instantiations of the numerous ways in which power relations have been produced, secured, and revised. We are now living in a time when these institutions have become even more deeply imbricated and triangulated to each other and to the unfolding new institutional order sparked by neoliberalism. In Spaces of New Colonialism, our central argument is that throughout the course of human history, the school, the museum and the city have rationalized systems that produce power asymmetrically and exacerbate inequalities. These systems have emerged as frameworks for governing different populations and managing the crises and creative destruction that characterize our times"--
