Take Back Mokum. Squatting and The Housing Struggle in Amsterdam

How to squat a house?
How to organise a rent strike?
How to fight gentrification?
How to take back the city?

Take Back Mokum portrays the housing struggle in Amsterdam today. It shows how the squatting movement intersects with queer activism, the struggle of undocumented migrants, with ecological issues, and grassroots right-to-the-city initiatives. Consisting of essays, interviews, visual stories and much more, it compiles the insights and practical knowledges of a large variety of activists and collectives from all over Amsterdam. Together, they represent a shared exploration of urban life lived autonomously. [publisher's note]
