Urban Revolt : State Power and the Rise of People's Movements in the Global South

How do individuals and organisations move beyond the boundaries of constitutional or legal constructs to challenge neoliberalism and capitalism?

As major urban areas have become the principal sites of poor and working-class social upheaval in the early twenty-first century, the chapters in this book explore key cities in the Global South.

Through detailed case studies, Urban Revolt unravels the potential and limitations of urban social movements on an international level.
