Drawing together insights from a diverse range of cities, this rich collection explores both the precarity and the potential of the always unsettled nature of our urban settlements.
Fran Tonkiss, Professor of Sociology, LSE, London, UK
Unsettled Urban Space adds insight on urban dwellers' shock at the rising contingency of their lives, the lived sense of 'permanent temporariness' and the embodied tensions of migrancy. The book addresses the loss of the assurance and tranquility that the European and other colonial conceptions of 'settling' and 'settlement' had assumed.
Rob Shields, H.M.Tory Chair and Professor of Human Geography and Sociology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
