🏙️ Centros sociales autogestionados: espacios donde la ciudad deja de ser solo propiedad y se convierte en vida colectiva. ✨ Una mirada crítica al urbanismo neoliberal y al derecho a la ciudad por @rubeniban y @autodesplan ➡️ todostuslibros.com/libros/centros…

Three wonderful books with brilliant insights about revolutionary thinking, emancipatory change, egalitarian futures and strategies for ecological transformation. We need utopian hope to counter fascism, but also provide sustainable material living conditions for everyone.

Freshly arrived today! A brilliant research by Saila-Maria Saaristo that adds up lots of arguments and evidence on urban squatting/occupations. Congrats!

My academic reading today was on the protests of research subjects about 'academic extractivism' in Chile when participatory/activist research is not even intended from the very beginning of a study. Great reflections and lessons to learn! tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
