Аннотация:To comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" is advice Don Mitchell takes wholly to heart in this passionate book, directed especially to scholars who eschew "rights talk" and juridical analysis as somehow removed from the project of progressive research and the making of more just societies.Mitchell takes as a point of departure Henri Lefebvre's "right to the city as a cry and demand;" that is, a right not only to inhabit urban spaces but also to participate in a city as an ongoing work of creation, production, and negotiation.
