Hardcover, viii + 244 pages, NOT ex-library. Very good interior, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A touch of wear to tips of page corners. Cosmetic damage to the boards: three short edge-tears (not affecting the binding); gently bumped upper spine. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The past decades have seen significant urban insurrections worldwide, and this volume analyzes some of them from an anthropological perspective; it argues that transformations of urban class relationships must be approached in a way that is both globally informed and deeply embedded in local and popular histories, and contends that every case of urban mobilization should be understood against its precise context in the global capitalist transformation. The book examines cases of mobilization across the globe, and employs a Marxian class framework, open to the diverse and multi-scalar dynamics of urban politics, especially struggles for spatial justice. -- Contents: Introduction: Introductory Thoughts on Anthropology and Urban Insurrection; 1. Confronting 'Aggressive Urbanism': Frictional Heterogeneity in the 'Gezi Protests' of Turkey / Mehmet Baris Kuymulu; 2. Reconfiguring 'the People'?
