Affirmative Squatting

Affirmative Squatting, anchored in the intensifying interdisciplinary research of Mizrahi studies, resolutely dismantles basic assumptions regarding public housing laws, while illustrating the research possibilities of the concept of intersectionality – of class, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality – for legal studies. The book also reflects the Mizrahi feminist activism of the author herself as an inspiring lawyer who represented squatters and placed these physical acts of resistance in their broad historical context.
