City Unsilenced brings together a cross-disciplinary group of scholars and scholar-activists to examine the spaces, conditions and processes in which neoliberal practices have profoundly impacted the everyday social, economic, and political life of citizens and communities around the globe. By better understanding the processes and implications of the recent urban resistances, this edited volume contributes to the ongoing debates concerning the role and significance of public space in the practice of lived democracy and lived space.
