This book's intention is to bring together documents, previously published in limited quantities, in a single volume to make them available to researchers, activists and the general public. It begins with an anecdotal and partial history of the fight for housing in Montr al, particularly since the 1960s, on the provincial and municipal political front, in the courts, and in the neighbourhoods. The facts and analysis are from the editor's experience as an observer and direct participant. The book ends with a ten page appendix that lists web site address for tenant information throughout Canada and the United States. So study these documents.
