Misplacing Ogden, Utah : Race, Class, Immigration, and the Construction of Urban Reputations
-
Salt Lake City, Utah

"This book questions the widely held assumption that divisions between urban areas are reflections of varying amounts of crime, deprivation, and other social, cultural, and economic problems. Using Ogden, Utah as a case study, Pepper Glass argues that urban reputations are "moral frontiers" that create and continue divides between the good and respectable-- or the bad and vilified-- members of a community. Ogden, a working-class city with a history of racial and immigrant diversity, has long held a reputation among Utahns as a "sin city" in the middle of an entrenched religious culture. Glass blends ethnographic research with historical accounts, census reports, and other secondary sources to provide insight into Ogden's reputation, past and present. In a rare feat among urban researchers, Glass captures residents' perceptions of an entire city, as opposed to only some of its neighborhoods, and explores the regional contexts shaping these perceptions. Glass's unique approach suggests we can better confront urban problems by rethinking assumptions about place and promoting interventions that break down boundaries." [Abstract]
