Documenting her struggles with the concepts of privilege, patriarchy, and sexism encountered while trying to create and live in an ill-fated squat in Emeryville, Hannah Potassium tackles issues that are, by their very nature, mired in lots of gray areas. Hannah was the one who found the squat, cleaned it up (mostly by herself), and slowly found herself living with a shit-ton of people in this squat, the majority of whom didn’t really care for her at all, whom she was continually at odds with. If you’re interested in squatting, or discussions about the use (or misuse) of words like “community” and “safe spaces,” check this one out. I feel really bad for her—starting something with a lot of hope and excitement, only to have it all end in filth, ruin, and resentment. Definitely had me thinking about all the drawbacks and positives to renting, squatting and/or homeowning. Copious amounts of footnotes, a bibliography, etc. –Keith Rosson
