The Village Against The World
Book • 2013
The Village Against the World chronicles the remarkable story of Marinaleda, a small village in Andalusia, Spain.
From its beginnings in the late 1970s as a farming community suffering from high unemployment and poverty, the villagers formed a political party and trade union to fight for land and freedom.
Through various forms of protest and resistance, they eventually secured 1,200 hectares of land from the government.
The book, written by Dan Hancox, explores the village's unique cooperative society, its history of struggle, and the ongoing efforts to maintain their utopian community in the face of broader societal challenges.
