About this Item

Paperback. In October 2006 a group of housing activists called Take Back The Land seized control of a plot in Miami and built an encampment called the Umoja Village Shantytown: a living reminder of the lack of affordable housing in the city and a public protest against gentrification. Though the encampment only lasted a few months, it inspired activists and observers around the country. This is their story, which addresses the issues of self-determination and homelessness in the Black community. Rameau also outlines the larger strategy behind the Take Back the Land movement. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
