Since the 2008 financial crisis, complex capital flows have ravaged
everyday communities across the globe. Housing in particular has
become increasingly precarious. In response, many movements now
contest the long-held promises and established terms of the private
ownership of housing. Immigrant activism has played an important,
if understudied, role in such struggles over collective
consumption. In Dispossession and Dissent, Sophie Gonick examines
the intersection of homeownership and immigrant activism through an
analysis of Spain's anti-evictions movement, now a hallmark for
housing struggles across the globe. Madrid was the crucible for
Spain's urban planning and policy, its millennial economic boom
(1998-2008), and its more recent mobilizations in response to
crisis. During the boom, the city also experienced rapid,
unprecedented immigration. Through extensive archival and
ethnographic research, Gonick uncovers the city's histories of
homeownership and immigration to demonstrate the pivotal role of
Andean immigrants within this movement, as the first to contest
dispossession from mortgage-related foreclosures and evictions.
Consequently, they forged a potent politics of dissent, which drew
upon migratory experiences and indigenous traditions of activism to
contest foreclosures and evictions.
