This volume documents research illustrating public dissents and
interventions to injustice in modern-day cities. Authors present
everyday occurrences of city life and place making; still, they
show how the ordinary city grows from historical dimensions of
injustice, violence and fear. Yet, ordinary citizens continue to
make the city their own, to contribute to the creation of city
structures and to contest those practices of spatial demarcation,
which limit rather than uplift their everyday social livelihood.
Chapters show how marginalized populations, from racial, to
gendered, to the working poor, are part of the apparatus that makes
the city function. However, their contributions to city arrangement
and endurance are perpetually at the margins, and city spaces
continue to be designed in ways that ignore and negate the
existence of those who protest inequity. Novel to the volume are
chapters that document and illustrate contestations of city spaces
through artistic representation. Public spaces like schools, art
galleries and museums are presented as central to projects of
inhabiting, remembering and reimagining (in) the just city. Still,
ordinary city spaces, like the public washroom, illustrate issues
of gender inequity, spatial bias and other art-based protests. City
dwellers interested in learning about 'the making' of the city; and
those interested in the city as a space of possibilities - and the
good life, will benefit from this volume. Scholars of geography,
space, art and social justice will marvel and simultaneously be
appalled by the everyday minute, yet shocking descriptions of the
complexity - and unfairly structured city spaces in which they
dwell.
