Presentation of the book “Fighting for spaces, Fighting for our lives”.
While waves of repression against squatters seem to spread across many places, some squatted social centres manage to persist and new occupied zones arise – successfully de- fended through public mobilization and widespread solidari- ty, alongside militant action. At the same time, squatting has seen a rebirth as a tool of radical praxis in movements fi ghting against the rising number of evictions and foreclo- sures during the fi nancial crisis, facing the policies of racism and creating open spaces for refugees, migrants and people of colour. The book provides glimpses into a diverse and multi-faceted movement, with accounts from local strugg- les, experiences of repression and stories of collective forms of life which have grown out of squatted spaces in various cities and countries throughout the world, including ac- counts from Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Seattle and Australia.
