Defying Displacement: Confronting The Multi-headed Hydra Of Gentrification w/ Andrew Lee

LISTEN: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/andrew-lee

Writer and organizer Andrew Lee joins me to discuss their new book Defying Displacement: Urban Recomposition and Social War, published through AK Press and the Institute for Anarchist Studies.

Defying Displacement grounds itself in one of the main sites of contemporary class struggle: communities facing the multi-headed hydra of gentrification. Andrew Lee directs our attention to the on-the-ground realities of urban displacement, and in turn, provides a new theory of the state and capitalism in the 21st century.

How can we create affordable and sustainable cities run by the people who inhabit them? That question is at the heart of Andrew Lee's new book "Defying Displacement: Urban Recomposition and Social War," which offers a fresh analysis of gentrification from the perspective of the people fighting it!

On Monday, February 26th we're excited to host Andrew Lee with Vicky Osterweil (author of "In Defense of Looting") for a conversation on the possibilities for urban liberation and revolt. Andrew participated in a multi-year fight against the construction of a Google campus in San José, California that culminated in the creation of the first community land trust in the so-called Silicon Valley. He currently lives in Philadelphia and is a managing editor at The Anti-Racism Daily.
