'Take Back Mokum' portrays the housing struggle in Amsterdam today. It shows how the squatting movement intersects with queer activism, the struggle of undocumented migrants, with ecological issues, and grassroots right-to-the-city initiatives. Consisting of essays, interviews, visual stories and much more, it compiles the insights and practical knowledges of a large variety of activists and collectives from all over Amsterdam. Together, they represent a shared exploration of urban life lived autonomously. Mokum is Amsterdam’s nickname. Originally meaning refuge or safe haven, it is a place we create in resistance, in community, in escape of the established order. This book shows you how – and invites you to join in.
