Contesting neoliberalism:

urban frontiers

Helga. Leitner, Jamie Peck, Eric S. Sheppard

Guilford Press, 2007 - 340 pages

Neoliberalism's 'market revolution' - realized through practices like privatization, deregulation, fiscal devolution, and workfare programme-has had a transformative effect on contemporary cities. The consequences of market-oriented politics for urban life have been widely studied, but less attention has been given to how grassroots groups, nongovernmental organizations, and progressive city administrations are fighting back. In case studies written from a variety of theoretical and political perspectives, this book examines how struggles around such issues as affordable housing, public services and space, neighborhood sustainability, living wages, workers' rights, fair trade, and democratic governance are reshaping urban political geographies in North America and around the world.

Review: Contesting Neoliberalism: Urban Frontiers

Avis d'utilisateur - Andrea - Goodreads

A mix of articles from around the world, and of course some more interesting than others, but the focus on how neoliberalism is being contested is highly welcome. An academic book, it is, as they all are, short on analysis of actual organizing and movement building, but at least it's in there. Consulter l'avis complet
