During the late 1980s and early 1990s the city of San Francisco
waged a war against the homeless. Over 1,000 arrests and citations
where handed out by the police to activists for simply distributing
free food in public parks. Why would a liberal city arrest
activists helping the homeless? In exploring this question, the
book treats the conflict between the city and activists as a unique
opportunity to examine the contested nature of homelessness and
public space while developing an anarchist alternative to liberal
urban politics that is rooted in mutual aid, solidarity, and
anti-capitalism. In addition to exploring theoretical and political
issues related to gentrification, broken-windows policing, and
anti-homeless laws, this book provides activists, students and
scholars, examples of how anarchist homeless activists in San
Francisco resisted these processes. This book is relevant to United
Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2, Zero hunger. -- .
