Rezension zu „The Village Against the World “
"Hancox captures the optimism necessary for alternative ways of doing politics, economics and living together. As the borderline between dream and reality shimmers in the heat of Andalucia, we begin to wonder if living as if change were indeed possible is the very key to making actual change happen. Do we really have any other choice?"--Suzanne Moore, "Guardian""It sounds like science fiction: a small rural town led by a charismatic mayor tries to turn itself into a communist utopia. But it's fact--it's happening right now in Andalucia, and colliding with the region's real-world history of violent rebellion and radicalism. Hancox's book could not be more timely--with Spain on the brink of social crisis and the shadows of the past emerging."--Paul Mason, author of "Why It's Still Kicking Off Everywhere"
