Join us as Jon Calame, co-author of Divided Cities: Beirut, Jerusalem, Mostar, and Nicosia and founding partner of Minerva Partners, explores the logic of violent urban partition along ethnic lines—when it occurs,
who supports it, what it costs, and why seemingly healthy cities succumb to it. His field-based investigations are coupled with scholarly research to illuminate the history of urban dividing lines, the social impacts of physical partition, and the assorted professional responses to "self-imposed apartheid."

Book signing and moderated discussion regarding American cities vulnerable to violent partition, with special attention to Detroit in the wake of the auto industry collapse, will follow. Please note that books will not be sold at the event and would need to be purchased beforehand for signing.
