Written by unhoused people and their allies, We Live in Public is an invitation to revolutionary care in a time of class war.
Los Angeles is one of the richest and most unequal cities in the world, where now nine unhoused people die every day. As rent prices, evictions, and houselessness grow, the homeless encampment becomes both a symptom of organized abandonment and a site of insurgent knowledge and practice. We Live in Public was conceptualized and written by residents and organizers of one such encampment, Aetna Street, whose experiences offer strategies for solidarity and survival in the face of escalating state violence.
Many people's worst fear is to be homeless, equating it with social death. But within the encampment, we see people living, with wisdom and maps to offer. In the various chapters of this book, Aetna residents and organizers generously share such insight and analysis. We Live in Public insists that these histories provide crucial lessons in modes of collective living and must be at the center of public history and knowledge.
Centering those who care for others on the street, it is an invitation to revolutionary care in the time of war. That war is the more immediate criminalization of homelessness and the longer arc of the unrelenting settlement of the US. We Live in Public is a refusal of such settler-colonial logics in the making of home and place.
