- This book is the first systematic analysis of squatting in Berlin. It is the outcome of extensive original research and field investigations in several languages. The author presents a large quantity of primary evidence, including interviews with key actors, difficult-to-access archives, and ephemeral magazines, and evaluates the radical environmental and communitarian activism of Berlin’s international counter-cultural communities. Theories and methods from several disciplines are discussed and deployed but this is primarily an urban historical geography of alternative, experimental urban lifestyles that emphasises the constitutive significance of the spaces, places and landscapes of Berlin’s informal housing sector.
