in collaboration with Monika Mokre

• Survival Pending Revolution – The Black Panthers’ Free Breakfast Programme

• Cuba’s Green Revolution – organopónicos, urban agriculture

• Urban gardening as urban chic

Without migration, there is no city. The city, as a place of the many, has always pointed to the movement of people who left elsewhere and now live here – regardless of whether that ‘elsewhere’ was within or beyond national borders. Thus, life in the city has always called into question the nation and its limited scope of imagination, challenging the taken-for-granted nature of the nation. Concepts such as the Solidarity City, Sanctuary Cities, post-migrant society or the new municipalisms have, among other things, emphasised precisely this connection between the heterogeneous urban space, the transnationality of ways of life and solidarity among those who are not alike. Not least in view of the intensification of racist, fascist and nationalist movements, this volume connects the various sites of refuge, rest, reproduction, arrival and gathering that have been developed and fought for over recent years in relation to the city as a site of solidarity.

The entire book can be purchased at https://transversal.at/books/stadt

or downloaded free of charge as an epub or pdf.

Only available in German language.
