The Death and Life of the Urban Commonwealth draws on the theory of solidarism to develop a new defense of social rights. By envisioning the city as a common-wealth created by past generations and current residents, the book helps us rethink struggles over gentrification, public housing, transit, and public space.

Susan S. Fainstein, author of The Just City Margaret Kohn brings an exceptionally sophisticated theoretical understanding to bear on the bases of urban injustice and the potential for its remediation. Rather than simply engaging in a re exive call for greater democracy, she develops a complex theory of social solidarism from which she builds an argument for a right to the city in which all city users share in their commonly developed wealth.

David Imbroscio, author of Urban America Reconsidered Margaret Kohn is one of the very few scholars writing about cities whose work combines a sophisticated understanding of normative theory and the empirical dimensions of actually existing urban life. In The Death and Life of the Urban Commonwealth she adeptly melds this combination with the best insights of critical urban studies to construct an innovative argument with radical implications for practice.

Clarissa Rile Hayward, Washington University in St. Louis This rich and engaging work deserves a wide audience.
