Urban Resilience in a Global Context Actors, Narratives, and Temporalities Edited by Dorothee Brantz and Avi Sharma Who Is an Alien? Reading the Plural Through Gandhi Kumkum Sangari
Urban resilience is seen by many as a tool to mitigate harm in times of extreme social, political, financial, and environmental stress. Some see it as a key to unlocking a more stable and secure urban future in times of extreme global insecurity; for others, it is a neoliberal technology that marginalizes the voices of already marginal peoples. This volume unlocks the potential of this concept to build more sustainable, inclusive, and secure cities in the twenty-first century.

Refugee Routes Telling, Looking, Protesting, Redressing Edited by Vanessa Agnew, Kader Konuk, and Jane O. Newman Drawing on historical and contemporary examples from Turkey, the Ottoman Empire, Iraq, Syria, the UK, Germany, France, the Balkan Peninsula, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Kenya, this volume draws attention to refugees, asylum seekers, exiles, and forced migrants as individual subjects with memories, hopes, needs, and rights. The questions Gandhi asked about imperial nations and how free nations should be made remain at the core of casteist, racist, patriarchal, and sectarian regimes. This book examines Gandhi’s struggle with the burden of colonial historiography, legal systems, and scriptural texts in the attempt to confront colonial oppression and social exclusion.
