"Collective landholding has served as a 'strategy of resistance.' It has allowed communities to withstand displacement pressures from land-clearing hurricanes and land-grabbing capitalists who predictably appear in their wake. It has enabled devastated communities to recover more quickly and to develop more equitably."--John Emmeus Davis (from the Foreword)

Our Land, Our Survival explores the vital role of communal land in protecting communities and the environment in the wake of disaster. Focusing on Barbuda and Puerto Rico's Ca�o Mart�n Pe�a area after the 2017 hurricanes, it reveals how land grabbing, displacement, and global capital threaten local ways of life. Against these pressures, communities defend their land, strengthen solidarity, and nurture sustainable practices that benefit both people and nature. Algoed and her co-authors celebrate the resistance and creativity of these communities, showing how their alternative ways of owning and managing land offer powerful lessons for survival, justice, and a more equitable future.
