520 3  Urban anthropologist Kristin Monroe takes urban 
       anthropology in a new and meaningful direction--the story 
       of traffic in the Middle East, focusing on Beirut. As 
       bombs reappeared recently following an impasse between 
       competing political groups and their international backers,
       residents of the city were forced to contend with many 
       forms of insecurity, forging their lives amid a 
       contentious, often violent, political and economic 
       landscape. Images and headlines in the news media tracked 
       the dramatic events that characterized this unstable 
       situation, but they did not provide a picture of what 
       ordinary life was like for urban dwellers in a city 
       terrorized by political sectarianism and the treat of 
       bombs. The Insecure City is an ethnographic exploration of
       the experiences of moving through Beirut. Driving is 
       characterized by precariousness, the anticipation of 
       violence, and the constant presence of class, political, 
       and state power. Focusing on the relationship between 
       urban space and social class, Monroe examines how 
       understandings and practices of spatial mobility in the 
       city reflect social differences. Residents' access to and 
       experiences of space are framed by uneven and insecure 
       forms of urban citizenship. She highlights the ways in 
       which transportation is about more than merely getting 
       somewhere; it is also about how people encounter civic 
       culture in a city on the edge, wounded by war. Traffic may
       seem to be an incidental topic for an anthropologist, but 
       as we know in New Jersey it is central to our lives.
