{"product_id":"the-surrounds-abdoumaliq-simone-9781478015505","title":"The Surrounds: Urban Life Within and Beyond Capture","description":"In \u003ci\u003eThe Surrounds\u003c\/i\u003e renowned urbanist AbdouMaliq Simone offers a new theorization of the interface of the urban and the political. Working at the intersection of Black studies, urban theory, and decolonial and Islamic thought, Simone centers \u003ci\u003ethe surrounds\u003c\/i\u003e-those urban spaces beyond control and capture that exist as a locus of rebellion and invention. He shows that even in clearly defined city environments, whether industrial, carceral, administrative, or domestic, residents use spaces for purposes they were not designed for: schools become housing, markets turn into classrooms, tax offices transform into repair shops. The surrounds, Simone contends, are where nothing fits according to design. They are where forgotten and marginalized populations invent new relations and ways of living and being, continuously reshaping what individuals and collectives can do. Focusing less on what new worlds may come to be and more on what people are creating now, Simone shows how the surrounds are an integral part of the expansiveness of urban imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abdoumaliq Simone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478015500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478015505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Abdoumaliq Simone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088361107711,"sku":"9781478015505","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d447936-cbf6-46f2-a572-2bb5e9048d5d.jpg?v=1769104412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-surrounds-abdoumaliq-simone-9781478015505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
