Protest, Property and the Commons

Performances of Law and Resistance

Beschreibung

This book examines the occupation of space as a mode of resistance. Drawing on the phenomena of social centres, as radical political communities that use the space of squatted, rented, or owned property, the book considers how such communities offer an alternative form of law to that of the state. It also addresses the relationship between this form of law recent protest phenomena, such as the Occupy movement. Contributing to an ongoing re-imagination of the law of property, Protest, Property and the Commons will be of interest to anyone concerned with the role of law in political protest.
