In The Surrounds renowned urbanist AbdouMaliq Simone offers a new
theorization of the interface of the urban and the political.
Working at the intersection of Black studies, urban theory, and
decolonial and Islamic thought, Simone centers the surrounds-those
urban spaces beyond control and capture that exist as a locus of
rebellion and invention. He shows that even in clearly defined city
environments, whether industrial, carceral, administrative, or
domestic, residents use spaces for purposes they were not designed
for: schools become housing, markets turn into classrooms, tax
offices transform into repair shops. The surrounds, Simone
contends, are where nothing fits according to design. They are
where forgotten and marginalized populations invent new relations
and ways of living and being, continuously reshaping what
individuals and collectives can do. Focusing less on what new
worlds may come to be and more on what people are creating now,
Simone shows how the surrounds are an integral part of the
expansiveness of urban imagination.
