Urban activism can manifest in many guises, from community
gardening to mass naked bike rides. But how might we theorize the
evidence of the collisions between social forces that take place in
our streets and public commons? Cities are formed through these
collective collisions in time. This book draws on the author's own
vast experience as an activist to make links between a theory of
practice with rich discussion of the histories of conflicts over
public space. Each chapter examines activist responses to a range
of issues that have confronted New Yorkers, from the struggle for
green space and non-polluting transportation, for housing and the
fight for sexual civil liberties. The cases are shaped through
interplay between multiple data sources, including the author's own
voice as an observing participant, as well as interviews with other
participant activists, historic accounts and theoretical
discussion. Taken together, these highlight a story of urban public
space movements and the ways they shape cities and are shaped by
history.
