Global Brooklyns authors motivate audiences to ask themselves how design strategies could more accurately reflect the spaces and communities they affect. Most importantly, their arguments prove that Taste is purposefully influenced to keep certain entities alive - a phenomenon all too real in our post-2020 climate. * Bailey McAlister, Georgia State University, USA * Revelatory, witty, and absorbing. Global Brooklyn is not just bare wood, chalkboards, and exposed brick from Capetown to Copenhagen, it's a way of describing comparative social change in culinary terms. The coffee shops and restaurants have the same look, but the essays show how different the hip contexts are. * Paul Freedman, Professor of History, Yale University, USA * The authors analyze the hipsterization of popular neighborhoods and how it impacts cultural production processes, citizen behavior, urban transformation, entrepreneurial activities, and innovation. This gives us a powerful tool for understanding what they call Global Brooklyness. * Steffano Maffei, Professor of Design, The Polytechnic University of Milan, Italy *
