- This REF output is a sole-authored monograph that is based on in-depth comparative international case study research in the three Western post-industrial port cities of Liverpool, Marseille, and New Orleans. The multiple case study research methodology for this book included: 75 qualitative interviews with a range of port city residents, workers, and activists; participant observation; visual and spatial methods; and analyses of films, novels, and documents. The book presents a critical argument about the complex and contradictory global legacies of empire and colonialism, casual labour, capitalism, and radicalism in declining port cities, which was dependent upon five years of research.
