In \u003ci\u003eLifehouse\u003c\/i\u003e, Adam Greenfield asks what might happen if the tactics and networks of care that spring up in response to these times might be brought together in a single, coherent way of life?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing examples from the Black Panthers’ “survival programs,” the astonishingly effective Occupy Sandy disaster-relief effort and the neighborhood-based mutual aid groups that sustained many during COVID lockdowns to the large-scale, self-organised polities of municipalist Spain and Kurdish Rojava, Greenfield argues for rethinking local power as a bulwark against despair — a way to discover and develop the individual and collective capacities that have gone underutilized during all the long years of late capitalism, and a means for thriving in the face of impending catastrophe.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44418335965439,"sku":"9781788738354","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781788738354_s600x595.jpg?v=1775585674","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781788738354","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
