Robert Neuwirth`s teeming narrative of squatters and their struggles on four continents brings the reader face-to-face with lived experience. Amidst the colour, the violence, the creation of living space from the slenderest of means, the vibrancy of the informal sector, and the battle for autonomy and property he vividly recreates, he reminds us that squatters are, like the poor, `always with us`. They have made and continue to make cities, and to improve them if given hals a chance by the authorities and the legal system. If you want to understand the `lived city` of squatters, Neuwirth offers the sights, the smells, and the voices of cinema verite.`
