In contemporary capitalism, workers experience two displacements concurrently; firstly due to changing conditions of work from stable and unionized factory jobs to temporary, unsecured, and diverse jobs, secondly due to neoliberal urbanism that relocates working class neighborhoods as places for gentrification or relegation. These changes sharpen the inequalities based on class, yet they happen when conventional meaning of class become unsecure. Having in mind this tension, this work scrutinizes Pa abahçe borough in Istanbul which witnessed deindustrialization as a prominent change and came to be threatened with displacement due to the development of gated communities at the terminal points of the borough and the plans for urban transformation. This book asks for the experience of the change and the agency of the local. Although factory workers stories were about dispersal and defeat, this book points that observing their plight, they seem to gain a kind of critical awareness on the class strategies operating in this process. This book is especially interesting for the discussion of the actual existence of class with its capacities and incapacities.
