About This Item
Synopsis
Robert Neuwirth spent two years infiltrating street markets and networks of low-level smugglers around the world to write Stealth of Nations . He lived in squatter communities for a similar amount of time to write his first book, Shadow Cities . These globe-trotting ventures were supported, in part, by the MacArthur Foundation and the Fund for Investigative Journalism. His work has been featured in many publications including The New York Times , The Washington Post , Financial Times Deutschland, Forbes , Fortune , Foreign Policy , Harper’s , Scientific American , and Wired . Neuwirth has taught in the college program at Rikers Island (New York City’s jail) and at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. He is also in demand as a public speaker, and his TED talk on squatters has been viewed by close to a quarter of a million people.
