- More about Dispossession and Dissent: Immigrants and the Struggle for Housing in Madrid
Immigrant activism has played an important role in the fight against housing precarity since the 2008 financial crisis. Sophie Gonick's book Dispossession and Dissent examines the intersection of homeownership and immigrant activism in Spain's anti-evictions movement, highlighting the role of Andean immigrants as the first to contest dispossession from mortgage-related foreclosures and evictions. This movement drew upon migratory experiences and indigenous traditions of activism to contest foreclosures and evictions.

Since the 2008 financial crisis, complex capital flows have wreaked havoc on everyday communities around the world. Housing, in particular, has become increasingly precarious. In response, many movements now challenge the long-held promises and established terms of private ownership of housing. Immigrant activism has played an important, if understudied, role in such struggles over collective consumption.
In Dispossession and Dissent, Sophie Gonick examines the intersection of homeownership and immigrant activism through an analysis of Spain's anti-evictions movement, now a hallmark for housing struggles across the globe.
Madrid was the crucible for Spain's urban planning and policy, its millennial economic boom (1998–2008), and its more recent mobilizations in response to crisis. During the boom, the city also experienced rapid, unprecedented immigration. Through extensive archival and ethnographic research, Gonick uncovers the city's histories of homeownership and immigration to demonstrate the pivotal role of Andean immigrants within this movement, as the first to contest dispossession from mortgage-related foreclosures and evictions. Consequently, they forged a potent politics of dissent, which drew upon migratory experiences and indigenous traditions of activism to contest foreclosures and evictions.
