Mark Purcell is Associate Professor in the Department of Urban Design & Planning at the University of Washington, USA, where he researches urban politics, political theory, social movements, and democracy. He is the author of Recapturing Democracy (2008) and numerous articles in journals including International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Urban Geography, Environment and Planning, Antipode, Urban Studies, Political Geography, Review of International Political Economy, and Planning Theory.

“Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections.” (Choice, 1 December 2013)“. . .DDDD is a great start toward an examination of democratic possibilities. Purcell’s point is that people are finding their democratic strength in the world; people are claiming their own power with others in interesting ways. We can see these practices if we look with interest and cultivate them if we give them space. Actual practices of democratic, anarchic self-discovery are happening everywhere. When we recognize them we can (and should) give them space and help them grow.” (Antipode , 1 October 2013)
