After the World Trade Center

"The contributors read like a who's who of progressive Manhattan." -- The San Francisco Chronicle
"After the World Trade Center... is a rare and unflinching lesson book on New York among the truckloads of books emerging with the anniversary of the attacks. Michael Sorkin, arguably America's most provocative architecture critic, edited the book along with sociology professor Sharon Zukin... As a whole, the book offers and unapologetic, left-of-center viewpoint. But its mining of Manhattan's deep past and often ironic present offers some important insights for the city's future." -- The Oregonian
"vividly of a moment, capturing on paper what hovers in the air...And that's the value of After the World TradeCenter: It shows how, as New York faces a challenge once inconceivable, the people who love it are fearful that belligerent panic will trample deeper issues and needs." -- San Francisco Chronicle
"Global and local in outlook, reaching beyond the personal-tragedy, American-values perspective that has dominated the media, this thoughtful volume is not just for New Yorkers." -- Booklist
"[A] singularly politically incorrect radical rethinking of the whole event and the great city in which it happened...one of the most provocative and perhaps most important books yet to come out of the event." -- The Buffalo News
