Recenzii

"Wide-reaching in its range of localities in the Global South, Rieker and Ali s framing argument for this collection of essays interrogates the efficacy of immutable epistemologies of urban space in modernist discourse . . .this powerful volume reveals through the lens of everyday stories how social space becomes a mediation of radical politics - at the conjuncture, the crossroads of the micrological stories of the everyday and the macrological dimensions of power." - Journal of Middle East Women s Studies
"The engaging essays in this book fill a major gap in our understanding of the dynamics of city space in the Global South - its gender dimension. An instructive volume." - Asef Bayat, Director of the International Institute for the Study of Islam in the Modern World (ISIM), and ISIM Professor at Leiden University, The Netherlands.
