Abstract

The study of squatting has been gaining ground in the field of Sociology and social sciences in recent decades. And thanks in large measure to the author of this book, Miguel A. Martínez, who has dedicated a large part of his academic career to the study of this particular political subject of urban social movements. In fact, this book synthetically contains the main contributions of this author in the last 20 years of a brilliant and itinerant career.
