Description:
This book seeks to document urban experiences of dissent and emergent resistance against disjunctive global and local flows that converge and intersect in some of Asia's fastest growing cities.
Review Quotes:
"I find Dissent and Cultural Resistance in Asia's Cities empirically comprehensive, interesting, informative and a must-read for those interested in globalisation, urban conflict and protest. Most importantly, all the chapters raise crucial questions about what constitutes the vision for a better world; to that extent, this book is an engaging critique of exclusionary urban transformations." - Ipsita Chatterjee, Urban Studies, 47(3), March 2010
