This book offers a unique contribution, exploring how the
intersections among migrants and radical squatters' movements have
evolved over past decades. The complexity and importance of
squatting practices are analyzed from a bottom-up perspective, to
demonstrate how the spaces of squatting can be transformed by
migrants. With contributions from scholars, scholar-activists, and
activists, this book provides unique insights into how squatting
has offered an alternative to dominant anti-immigrant policies, and
the implications of squatting on the social acceptance of migrants.
It illustrates the different mechanisms of protest followed in
solidarity by migrant squatters and Social Center activists, when
discrimination comes from above or below, and explores how can
different spatialities be conceived and realized by radical
practices. Contributions adopt a variety of perspectives, from
critical human geography, social movement studies, political
sociology, urban anthropology, autonomous Marxism, feminism, open
localism, anarchism and post-structuralism, to analyze and
contextualize migrants and squatters' exclusion and social justice
issues. This book is a timely and original contribution through its
exploration of migrations, squatting and radical autonomy.

Is 21st-century Rome a global city? Is it part of Europe's core
or periphery? This volume examines the "real city" beyond Rome's
historical center, exploring the diversity and challenges of life
in neighborhoods affected by immigration, neoliberalism, formal
urban planning, and grassroots social movements. The contributors
engage with themes of contemporary urban studies the global city,
the self-made city, alternative modernities, capital cities and
nations, urban change from below, and sustainability. Global Rome
serves as a provocative introduction to the Eternal City and makes
an original contribution to interdisciplinary scholarship."
