<p> “This is a crucial and long overdue intervention in critical urban thought that refines our understanding of interdependence. By explaining global urban linkages hitherto only partially considered while centring the margins of heterogeneous geographies of the European East, its thoughtful lessons will spur both scholarly debates and community struggles for racial justice”.</p><p><b>-Giovanni Picker</b>, <i>Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Glasgow, and author of ‘Racial Cities’.</i></p><p> “The volume is a rich kaleidoscope of faces of urban marginality in Eastern Europe – from racialised dispossession of Roma, through forms of collective displacement to glimpses of hope and resistance. A scholarly case for analytical relevance of categories of racial capitalism and post-socialism in the 21st century”.</p><p><b>-Barbora </b><b>Černušáková</b>, <i>Hallsworth Fellow, University of</i><i> Manchester.</i></p><p> “Eastern European cities have been at the forefront of many ambitious and contested forms of urbanism in the 20th century, and are at the forefront of illiberalism, racial capitalism, and urban warfare in the 21st century. This is a tour-de-force for provincializing the study of urban marginality”.</p><p><b>-Liviu Chelcea</b>, <i>University of Bucharest.</i></p><p>“The book is essential to East European scholarship. It could be a start, alongside similar endeavors from the region, for remaking urban studies beyond geographical dichotomies by examining how capitalism became global through dismantling East European state socialism and shaping its post-socialist transformations.”<br /> <b>-Enikő Vincze</b>, <i>urban and housing studies scholar and activist.</i></p>
