Critics Review
“Marc Doussard and Greg Schrock lucidly expose the ways in which nationally-networked activists have mobilized to win major policy victories that advance class and racial justice in cities across the United States, despite the formidable political challenges of the neoliberal era. This fresh and important contribution illuminates the crucial role of twenty-first century cities as incubators of progressive social change.”-Ruth Milkman, author of Immigrant Labor and the New Precariat
“This book readjusts the understanding of how and where political agendas are made.”-CHOICE
