Not For Rent: Conversations with Creative Activists in the U.K.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. First published in 1995, New edition - 2003. Interviews with squatters, eco-activists, musicians, and anarchists of all kinds in England and Scotland... the focus of the book was on people who were creating communal spaces as activism... how and why and who for... tons of photos and lists of resources and zines and good bands and fun stuff like that too.

Not for Rent, however, is not a book about unjust laws. It is a vibrant celebration of creative resistence, political alternatives, and social engagment. It is about possibilities, when smart, socially conscious people get together and create communties on their own terms. Use it for inspiration!
