The poor and working people in cities of the South find themselves in urban spaces that are conventionally construed as places to reside or inhabit. In such cities, popular districts are the settings of more uncertain operations that take place under the cover of darkness, generating uncanny alliances among disparate bodies, materials and things and expanding the urban sensorium and its capacities for liveliness.In this important new book AbdouMaliq Simone explores the nature of these alliances, portraying urban districts as sites of enduring transformations through rhythms that mediate between the needs of residents not to draw too much attention to themselves and their aspirations to become a small niche of exception. But what if we thought of popular districts in more expansive ways that capture what really goes on within them?
Here we discover an urban South that exists
