Inhaltsangabe

Introduction and conclusion that emphasize the theory of local/global class struggles and urban commoning. They work out an open Marxian-inspired methodology. More up to date than many specialized social movement readers/collections. Less focused on established movements and organizations (as the social movement studies of the 1990s and 2000s), more on spontaneous mobilizations, their dynamics and deeper historical and global backgrounds. World wide urban case studies (versus national level studies), from sites in Nepal and India to Turkey, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the US. (Not the well known cases of Spain, Greece, Egypt). Ethnography, history, and space/the global, multi-scalar approaches, rather than the formalist methodologies of established social movement studies.
