Spaces of Contention: Spatialities and Social Movements
This book brings together leading scholars to examine how social movements have employed spatial practices to respond to and shape changing social and political contexts. By mapping state-of-the-art conceptual and empirical terrain across Geography, Sociology, and Political Science, 'Spaces of Contention' provides readers with a much needed guide to innovative research on the spatial constitution of social movements and how social movements tactically and strategically approach and produce space.

Praise for this book
'Interdisciplinary research is often invoked in the abstract, but rarely put into practice. Spaces of Contention powerfully reminds us of why it is such an important, if demanding, endeavour. Bringing together specialists from disciplines ranging from geography to sociology, from planning to political science, and more, this book provides a comprehensive account of the ways in which spaces shape contentious processes.' Mario Diani, University of Trento, Italy and ICREA-UPF Barcelona, Spain 'Spaces of Contention is a landmark text that doesn't just bring together leading international scholars of the geographies of social movements, helping establish this as an important field in its own right, but seeks to move the agenda forward by reconciling contrasting approaches in a holistic and generous way. In doing so, it opens up further challenges to think through the ways in which we can build an integrated approach that acknowledges, even celebrates, difference whilst making visible the political antagonisms that exist within and among social movements. Each of the 12 contributions would be an impressive 'stand-alone' text...' Antipode
