This book details the current neoliberal restructuring of cities
and its impact on the rise and spread of resistance and uprisings
in different cities throughout the world. Through close
ethnographic study the authors illuminate the strategies adopted
for everyday life that have evolved in response to the neoliberal
managing of cities, by which the city is shaped by market forces
rather than by the needs of its inhabitants. In the light of many
urban movements, uprisings and forms of resistance observed in such
diverse countries as Brazil, Turkey, the USA, Greece and Spain
since the Arab uprising of 2011, this collection makes an original
contribution to urban sociology and social geography by developing
a spatial approach to understanding how the city shapes identities
and perceptions of (in)justice. This innovative volume will be of
interest to readers across the social sciences.
Young people are often at the forefront of democratic activism,
whether self-organised or supported by youth workers and community
development professionals. Focusing on youth activism for greater
equality, liberty and mutual care - radical democracy - this timely
collection explores the movement's impacts on community
organisations and workers. Essays from the Global North and Global
South cover the Black Lives Matter movement, environmental activism
and the struggles of refugees. At a time of huge global challenges,
youth participation is a dynamic lens through which all community
development scholars and participants can rethink their approaches.
