Good archival work, but IMO, lacks a threading story beyond the historical fact telling.

I would also have liked it to go deeper into the 2008 Spanish economic and housing crisis, which, in this book, accounted for a few pages written in the last chapter.

I couldn't put this book down once I started it - a fascinating history of radical housing movements around the world and the ideas behind them. Vasudevan obviously cares about the movement he is writing about, and does so so we can learn from the struggles of the past to inform our own today.
