Where it came from
Punitive City, published by Zed Books in 2016, emerged from a growing body of critical literature examining the intersection of urban development, policing, and neoliberal governance. Markus-Michael Müller, a scholar specializing in the politics of violence and Latin American security, wrote the text to explore how urban centers increasingly function as sites of exclusion and militarized control, focusing specifically on the context of Latin American megacities.
The book design reflects Zed Books’ longstanding commitment to radical political economy and sociology, favoring an academic aesthetic that prioritizes clarity and thematic weight. Upon its release, the work was received as a significant contribution to the field of critical urban studies, praised for its theoretical rigor in connecting global security trends with the lived realities of city inhabitants facing state-sanctioned punitive measures.
