Reviews:
"Considering how many people all over the world have been involved in squatting vacant properties, it is amazing to me that there are so few good books on the subject. Hannah Dobbz's book is a welcome addition." Seth Tobocman, War in the Neighborhood and Understanding the Crash
"Millions of foreclosed homes and abandoned buildings on one hand; millions of Americans desperate for decent shelter on the other. Hannah Dobbz makes the necessary addition of resources and needs in a book that is both a brilliant history of squatting in the USA and a template for the next stage of the Occupy movement." Mike Davis, Planet of Slums and Dead Cities
