No Trespassing! | Praise
“Anders Corr’s No Trespassing! convinces me that committed
activism, smart radical scholarship, and perceptive social thought are alive
and well. A boon to squatters everywhere and to the radical tradition of non-violent
direct action. A gold mine of movement histories, brimming with tactical and
strategic political insights.”
—James C. Scott, author of Weapons of the Weak: Everyday Forms of
Peasant Resistance
“Tough, erudite.… A rich mixture of reportage, philosophical rigor
and concrete advice for action.”
—Joe Knowles, In These Times
“While No Trespassing! makes a compelling and well-considered
intellectual argument, its real significance lies in its call to action.”
—New Journal
“Anders Corr presents one of the best, easy to read, and well researched
discussions on land and house rights/activism.… This book may become one
of the most important entrances for the poor to the notion of getting what they
deserve.”
—VMag
“No Trespassing! is not only thoughtful and thoroughly researched,
it's also an exhilarating read. I learned that there are solutions
to the ever more dire housing shortage—at least for those who are bold
and adventurous enough to try them!”
—Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Blood Rites
“No Trespassing! is fabulous. A masterful job of making seemingly
disparate struggles part of an integral whole.”
—Medea Benjamin, author of Don't Be Afraid Gringo
“No Trespassing! is an informed account of a worldwide challenge
to property. A squatter's manifesto is at hand.”
—Charles Geisler, Professor of Rural Sociology, Cornell University
“Squatters of the world, arise! This inspiring book tells the rarely-chronicled
story of your struggles. From landless peasants in Brazil to rent strikers in
the Bronx, communities have resisted eviction and repression. Anders Corr, an
experienced participant as well as a scholar of such movements, tells how they
are organized, what makes them just, and what lessons can be learned to make
them more effective.”
—Jeremy Brecher, co-author of Global Village or Global Pillage,
Second Edition
