I would say yes, Brad!! And definitely with the predominance of repressive rather than ‘generative’ measures…

@goodfellowtom.bsky.social is it reasonable to apply the lessons of Controlling the Capital to the United States? E.g. Washington, D.C. now has a permanent 3000+ National Guard deployment, the local-federal Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, masked ICE/CBP patrols, and expanding Park Police

Brilliant to see all these pieces online together - and it was such a pleasure to engage with @shakirahh.bsky.social’s fantastic book on urban Rwanda, ‘Master Plans and Minor Acts’. Highly recommended!!

Such a fun paper to work on - from our project on ‘Living the Urban Periphery’ in #Ethiopia and South Africa This paper focuses on the former, and on how people’s ability to move or not move is shaping their social class identities.
