Reviews
AbdouMaliq Simone is like Lawrence 'Butch' Morris. His lectures, his rehearsals, are conductions that sound and show the inseparability of the theory and history of radical practice. What he gathers of the surrounds, in The Surrounds , is the generative disruption, the general strike, that persists under the duress and in the toxic radiation of the city. People live a kind of radiance in terror and deprivation whose ubiquity makes it seem unlikely. Simone insists on every aspect of such presence, teaching us how to learn from it, and with it, so that we, too, might practice it, (every)where it's at.

Synopsis
In The Surrounds renowned urbanist AbdouMaliq Simone offers a new theorization of the interface of the urban and the political. Working at the intersection of Black studies, urban theory, and decolonial and Islamic thought, Simone centers the surrounds --those urban spaces beyond control and capture that exist as a locus of rebellion and invention. He shows that even in clearly defined city environments, whether industrial, carceral, administrative, or domestic, residents use spaces for purposes they were not designed for: schools become housing, markets turn into classrooms, tax offices transform into repair shops. The surrounds, Simone contends, are where nothing fits according to design. They are where forgotten and marginalized populations invent new relations and ways of living and being, continuously reshaping what individuals and collectives can do. Focusing less on what new worlds may come to be and more on what people are creating now, Simone shows how the surrounds are an integral part of the expansiveness of urban imagination., Working at the intersection of urban theory, Black studies, and decolonial and Islamic thought, AbdouMaliq Simone offers a new theorization of the interface of the urban and the political.
