“James Tracy knows that our dysfunctional housing machine is working as it should: working for the rich. This important history throws sand into the gears of that machine. It is a vision of a better housing system. And it is a defiant story, told from the frontlines of citizens fighting for the right to their city, with lessons that matter for any community aspiring to control its own destiny.” —Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved

“With the insight of a poet and the long-term vision of a seasoned organizer, Dispatches Against Displacement weaves together a powerful, instructive, hilarious, and poignant description of how the working class fights back in the City by the Bay.” —Alicia Garza, National Domestic Workers Alliance
