Cooperative Living
Author: Jeff Namian
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1665736801
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
When you live in New York, you innately grow a thicker layer of skin. Like a shark’s hide. While many view this layer as arrogance, they fail to realize the intensity of navigating millions of people each day just to get to work. Add grocery shopping en route home (slithering down a three foot wide aisle with accuracy required by the luge) and you’re a Xanax away from short circuiting. Most non-New Yorkers fail to realize that underneath this protective layer are elements of patience, tolerance and respect. If everyone cooperates, we all win. If you push somebody off the subway or dart to grab that last can of peas, you’re subject to judgment by a jury of thousands. The theory of cooperative living keeps the city well oiled. There’s always a trap door to dodge, but it’s possible that one person per day may extend some act of kindness. It requires being alert enough to spot it, since everyone’s conditioned to hide inside their shell. But when it does happen, you feel a little more visible and a lot less cynical.

Carving Out the Commons
Author: Amanda Huron
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 145295643X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
An investigation of the practice of “commoning” in urban housing and its necessity for challenging economic injustice in our rapidly gentrifying cities Provoked by mass evictions and the onset of gentrification in the 1970s, tenants in Washington, D.C., began forming cooperative organizations to collectively purchase and manage their apartment buildings. These tenants were creating a commons, taking a resource—housing—that had been used to extract profit from them and reshaping it as a resource that was collectively owned by them. In Carving Out the Commons, Amanda Huron theorizes the practice of urban “commoning” through a close investigation of the city’s limited-equity housing cooperatives. Drawing on feminist and anticapitalist perspectives, Huron asks whether a commons can work in a city where land and other resources are scarce and how strangers who may not share a past or future come together to create and maintain commonly held spaces in the midst of capitalism. Arguing against the romanticization of the commons, she instead positions the urban commons as a pragmatic practice. Through the practice of commoning, she contends, we can learn to build communities to challenge capitalism’s totalizing claims over life.
