Summary:	"Based on extensive field research in Turkey, Istanbul, City of the Fearless explores social movements and the broader practices of civil society in Istanbul in the critical years before and after the 1980 military coup, the defining event in the neoliberal re-engineering of the city. Bringing together developments in anthropology, urban studies, cultural geography, and social theory, it offers new insights into the meaning and study of urban violence, military rule, activism and spatial tactics, relations between political fractions and ideologies, and political memory/commemoration. Its theoretical and conceptual contributions have implications far beyond its particular focus on Istanbul"--
