Reviews
'Throughout the world the urban poor struggle against oppression and dispossession by organising in their neighbourhoods. Simon Escoffier's study of two contrasting neighbourhoods in Santiago, Chile, shows how people mobilise citizenship for cultivating radical democratic activism. This shift to mobilising citizenship in the neighbourhood is brilliant and inspiring.' Engin Isin, Queen Mary University of London

Engin Isin, Queen Mary University of London '… this is a magnificent contribution to social movement studies and a vital backdrop to understand the momentous events in Chile since 2019. It should be widely read beyond Latin American studies.' Ronaldo Munck, Journal of Latin American Studies 'This text is useful not only for scholars of urban poor neighborhoods and contentious action but also for undergraduate and graduate students and anyone asking broad questions about the differential capacity for collective action. Additionally, it offers a very pedagogical explanation of how methodological comparisons are constructed in space and time.' Emmanuelle Barozet, PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review
