"Examining the impact of alternative solidarity-based community economic development, Solidarity Cities uniquely juxtaposes spatial patterns of solidarity activity with other demographic information, highlighting racial, class, and gender complexities in solidarity economies that are often missed or ignored. At the same time, the book does the double job of analyzing and celebrating how and where solidarity economies operate and thrive, providing ‘defense and resistance’ against society’s structural inequities."-Jessica Gordon Nembhard, author of Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice "With studious theoretical and methodological frameworks, Solidarity Cities is a truly interdisciplinary study that knits together a solid foundation for understanding and studying alternative economies. This is remarkable, difficult, refreshing, and crucial scholarship."-Keally McBride, University of San Francisco
