Abstract

Hypothesizing a trend from structural to more cultural approaches to the urban past in American and European historical writing, the author discovered to the contrary that social historians have consistently seen the subjects of urban his' wry as a place, a population, and the social-cultural relations between and among individuals, families, institutions, and place. Urban historians in the 1990s, however, have moved towards subjects not easily treated with a purely structural approach. [Culture, urban ethnography, urban history, anthropological theory, urban migration]
