Cracking the Movement: Squatting Beyond the MediaCompelling and instructive tales of autonomous adventure and humorous mayhem from within the Dutch squatter’s movement of the 1980s. Accounts of playful and spontaneous intransigence, theoretic burlesque, strategies of disappearance, and narrative collage recuperate a situation that had been skewed to fit mass media’s general take on all things subversive. |
