Dear Colleague,
This theme section of Focaal considers “commoning” as one way to understand the emergence of social movements in Europe and the United States. From an analysis of housing movements, anti-antiblack insurgency, redefinitions of the tax code, and the squares movement, the articles consider how movements around the urban commons change over time, differ from more traditional social movements, and address or emerge from the specifics of contemporary regimes.
