| Sumario: | Gaining Freedoms reveals a new locus for global political change: everyday urban contestation. Cities are often assumed hotbeds of socio-economic division, but this assessment overlooks the importance of urban space and the everyday activities of urban life for empowerment, emancipation, and democratization.

And through struggle, negotiation, and cooperation, competing claims across groups can become platforms to defend freedom and rights from government encroach. |
