‘In this insightful book, Ari Jerrems explores how the ambiguous and contested figure of the neighbour shapes political space in urban Madrid. Theorising neighbouring as a concrete relation that enables a reimagination of politics and space, Jerrems importantly uncovers a range of “makeshift” forms of solidarity through which relations between citizens and migrants are reconfigured amidst “crisis”.’ Vicki Squire, The University of Warwick
