      abstract = {This book tells the story of Metropoliz, a vacant salami  factory located in the Eastern periphery of Rome (Italy)  that was squatted in 2009 by homeless households with the  cooperation of the Housing Rights Movement Blocchi Precari  Metropolitani, and progressively reconverted into the house  and museum spaces that form the Citta Meticcia (the mestizo  city). Through a vivid activist-ethnographic account,  Margherita Grazioli suggests that Metropoliz exemplifies a  practice of grassroots urban regeneration that speaks to  the conflicted reconfiguration of real estate urban regimes  in a post-crisis, post-neoliberal scenario. Using the  contentious reappropriation of housing as a point of  departure for claiming manifold rights, Metropoliz  represents an alternative model of urbanity and habitation  that will inspire contemporary urban social movements  concerned with the demand of the right to the city, as well  as those concerned with the ontology of the urban commons.  Margherita Grazioli is Postdoctoral Research Fellow in  Regional Sciences & Economic Geography at the Social  Sciences Area of the Gran Sasso Science Institute in  L'Aquila, Italy.},
