The squatter and the don / by Ruiz de Burton, María Amparo,1832-1895,author.; Castillo, Ana,author of introduction.(CARDINAL)738858; Acker, Jennifer M.,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)813878;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 403-426).A fiercely partisan novel based on the author's own experiences, The Squatter and the Don follows two families living near San Diego shortly after the United States' annexation of California: the Alamares of the landed Mexican gentry, and the Darrells, the New Englanders who seek to claim the Alamares' land. When young Clarence Darrell falls in love with Mercedes Alamar, the stage is set for a conflict that blends the personal with the political. A scathing critique of corporate capitalism, this story exposes the true historical plight of californios as their lands are taken away by a government with incestuous ties to the railroad monopoly--institutions laced with the greed and racism of nineteenth-century America's expansionist agenda.

A beginners guide to breaking and entering / by Murray, Andy(Andrew Hunter),author.(CARDINAL)429477;
Property might be theft. But the housing market is murder. My name is Al. I live in wealthy people's second homes while their real owners are away. I don't rob them, I don't damage anything... I'm more an unofficial house-sitter than an actual criminal. Life is good. Or it was -- until last night, when my friends and I broke into the wrong place, on the wrong day, and someone wound up dead. And now... now we're in a great deal of trouble.

Shadow cities : a billion squatters, a new urban world / by Neuwirth, Robert.(CARDINAL)468811;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-328) and index.Rio de Janeiro : city without titles -- Nairobi : the squatter control -- Mumbai : squatter class structure -- Istanbul : the promise of squatter self-government -- The 21st century medieval city -- Squatters in New York -- The Habitat fantasy -- Are squatters criminals? -- Proper squatters, improper property -- The cities of tomorrow."This is a book that confronts one of the least known but most important facts about the world's cities: that they are home to more than a billion squatters. Within a generation, that number is projected to grow to two billion - and more than half the people living in cities will be squatters. Yet most outsiders are unwilling to step into their communities, fearing crime, disease, and distress." "Investigative reporter Robert Neuwirth spent two years living in squatter neighborhoods on four continents. In Shadow Cities, he reports what he has learned from squatters in Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Mumbai, and Nairobi. He started his journey prepared to find squatters as signifiers of urban decay and lawlessness. Instead, he found vital communities of industrious and highly moral people who have built communities of lasting power." "Shadow Cities dispels the myth that shantytowns are purely a third world phenomenon, showing that the great cities of Europe and North America were once dominated by shantytowns. And Neuwirth shows that squatters will build vital neighborhoods without private titles as long as they know they are not subject to eviction." "Shadow Cities acknowledges that the world of the squatters may be gritty, but it shows that it is governed by hope. Squatters, Neuwirth argues are building the cities of tomorrow."--
