Through the concept of 'mobilizational citizenship', this book explains durable collective action in excluded urban communities.

Recenzje

'Throughout the world the urban poor struggle against oppression and dispossession by organising in their neighbourhoods. Simón Escoffier's study of two contrasting neighbourhoods in Santiago, Chile, shows how people mobilise citizenship for cultivating radical democratic activism. This shift to mobilising citizenship in the neighbourhood is brilliant and inspiring.' Engin Isin, Queen Mary University of London
