Kritik
'This important, thoughtful and thought-provoking text sets out to develop a radical spatial history of squatting in Berlin. Unapologetically and powerfully committed to exploring the ways the city itself may be thought of as a radical political project, Vasudevan sympathetically but honestly reflects on some of the challenges of sustaining a radical urban politics of squatting over time. Metropolitan Preoccupations is a genuinely innovative contribution to geographical scholarship, opening up ways of thinking about the radical politics of the city.'
--Allan Cochrane, Emeritus Professor of Urban Studies, Open University, UK

'In this deftly-told spatial history of squatting in Berlin, Alexander Vasudevan argues in compelling detail that radical social movements are inseparable from concrete forms of geography- and city-making. Anchored in a grounded and gripping narrative of the practices and struggles through which squatters have co-constituted Berlin as an intense site of urban experimentation and protest, Metropolitan Preoccupations simultaneously lends new historical depth and global connectivity to our understanding of 21st-century "right-to-the-city" movements. It is difficult to imagine a story that more effectively excavates the fundamental importance and the multi-layered meanings of the basic geographical right to be somewhere.'
--Matthew Hannah, Professor of Cultural Geography, Universität Bayreuth, Germanymehr
