From Haussmann's attempts to use urban planning to rid 19th-century Paris of workers revolution to the contemporary metropolis, including urban disaster-zones such as downtown Detroit, Merrifield reveals how the urban experience has been profoundly shaped by class antagonism and been the battle-ground for conspiracies, revolts and social eruptions. Going beyond the work of earlier urban theorists such as Manuel Castells, Merrifield identifies the new urban question that has emerged and demands urgent attention, as the city becomes a site of active plunder by capital and the setting for new forms of urban struggle, from Occupy to the Indignados.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndy Merrifield\u003c\/b\u003e is a Fellow of Murray Edwards College, Cambridge and the author of numerous books including \u003ci\u003eMagical Marxism\u003c\/i\u003e (Pluto, 2011) and \u003ci\u003eThe Wisdom of Donkeys\u003c\/i\u003e (2009). \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.6 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731699724595,"sku":"9780745334837","price":54.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/NUZ6UURRQi9OTmgzbmFNRjlCcjh6Zz09_49dfdc66-e2d4-496f-95d9-679d76ee17dd.webp?v=1763866812","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-new-urban-question-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
