Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines post-crisis protest as a global yet intensely local movement. It reframes the theorization of both protest and of the city, in local and global contexts. It bridges four key ideas: human rights discourse and citizenship practice; political economy and social geography approaches to understandings of the city; "post-political" literature and the history of politics and protest; and Marxist and anarchist ideas about the time and space of politics. This book adopts a unique approach to provide new theoretical insights and challenges to post political thinking.
