Conventional political parties present milquetoast solutions that accommodate the interests of business. Meanwhile, citizens in cafes, meeting halls, on the streets, and now in virtual forums are rising to the challenge of imagining new and radical municipal policy from the ground up. This book explores the future of Montreal's citizen lead movements at a moment defined by the threats of pandemic, austerity, housing speculation and insecurity, and racism. It pairs contemporary analysis with an exploration of Montreal's rich municipal history. The editors of \u003ci\u003eA Citizen's Guide to City Politics\u003c\/i\u003e gathered more than twenty activists, urban planners, and thinkers to address the major problems facing Montrealers and propose alternatives from a citizen's perspective. Municipal movements everywhere will see their own struggles reflected in this guide and will find inspiration for debate and action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Shragge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1551647796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551647791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Rose Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.46w x 0.94d","brand":"Eric Shragge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045459620095,"sku":"9781551647791","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_658c8e82-d8bd-461f-9d33-87aa5cfcaf6d.jpg?v=1684978879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-citizens-guide-to-city-eric-shragge-9781551647791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
