Rousing manifesto on the city and the commons from the acclaimed theorist
Whose streets? Our streets! In Rebel Cities David Harvey shows us how we might turn this slogan into a realityThat task-and this book-could hardly be more important. -- Benjamin Kunkel, author of Indecision and a founding editor of N+1

Intellectuals in the Occupy movement [will] appreciate Rebel Cities' descriptions of the historic and international parallel of urban struggles to reclaim public space and build culture, and be intrigued by Harvey's musings on how to grow a lively, resilient revolutionary anticapitalist movement. * Publisher's Weekly *
