Squatters and autonomous movements have been in the forefront of radical politics in Europe for nearly a half-century - from struggles against urban renewal and gentrification, to large-scale peace and environmental campaigns, to spearheading the anti-austerity protests sweeping the continent. Compiling local movement histories of eight different cities - including Amsterdam, Berlin and other famous centres of autonomous insurgence, along with underdocumented cities such as Poznan and Athens - The City is Ours paints a complex picture of squatting in Europe.
