Hannah Dobbz Presents “Nine-Tenths of the Law” April 11th @ThriftyAustin 7pm
Hannah Dobbz will present Nine-Tenths of the Law: Property and Resistance in the United States. How does “property” fit into designs for an equitable society? Nine-Tenths of the Law examines the history of squatting and property struggles in the US, from colonialism to 20th-century urban squatting and the foreclosure crisis of the late 2000s, and how such resistance movements shape the law. Squatting is defined by Dobbz as “occupying an otherwise abandoned structure without exchanging money or engaging in a formal permissive agreement.”
