Bøger af Dan Hancox

In pursuit of the liberating powers of the crowd

The land is for those who work it"e;La tierra es de quien la trabaja."e;One hundred kilometers from Seville, there is a small village, Marinaleda, that for the last thirty years has been at the center of a long struggle to create a communist utopia. In a story reminiscent of the Asterix books, Dan Hancox explores the reality behind the community where no one has a mortgage, sport is played in the Che Guevara stadium and there are monthly "e;Red Sundays"e; where everyone works together to clean up the neighbourhood. In particular he tells the story of the village mayor, Snchez Gordillo, who in 2012 became a household name in Spain after leading raids on local supermarkets to feed the Andalucian unemployed.
