: Squatters and autonomous movements have been at the forefront of radical   :
: politics in Europe for nearly a half-century--from struggles against urban :
: renewal and gentrification, to large-scale peace and environmental         :
: campaigns, to spearheading the antiausterity protests sweeping the         :
: continent. Through an examination of the local history of these movements  :
: in eight different cities--including Amsterdam, Berlin, and other famous   :
: centers of autonomous insurgence, along with underdocumented cities such a :
: Poznan and Athens--The City Is Ours paints a broad and complex picture of  :
: Europe's squatting and autonomous movements. Each chapter focuses on one   :
: city and provides a clear chronological narrative and analysis accompanied :
: by photographs and illustrations. The sections center on the most importan :
: events and developments in the history of these movements, identifying the :
: specificities of the local movements and dealing with issues such as the   :
: relation between politics and subculture, generational shifts, the role of :
: confrontation and violence, and changes in political tactics. The          :
: contributors are all politically engaged authors who combine academic      :
: scrutiny with accessible writing, providing a clear and engaging view of   :
: important contemporary social movements.                                   :
