Praise
“One of the best books on squatting in English language. An immensely
useful, wide-ranging, and insightful book about a fascinating part of
radical history. PM Press has finally made it possible for American
activists to understand the hidden history of housing.“
—Andrej Grubacic, coauthor of Wobblies and Zapatistas: Conversations on Anarchism, Marxism and Radical History
“This is a wonderful and important book. It makes key contributions
to how we should think about squatting as well as how we should think
about the best way to study social movements. Insightful, provocative,
and educational, it provides a broad spectrum of cases and perspectives
on squatter movements in Europe.“
—Linus Owens, author of Cracking under Pressure
