In the heat of an economic and political crises, people in Argenita took to the streets on December 19, 2001, shouting, Que se vayan todos! These words -- All of them out! -- hurled by thousands banging pots and pans, struck at every politician, economist, and journalist. Colectivo Situaciones wrote this book in the heat of that December's aftermath. Ten years have passed, yet the book remains and relevant and as fresh as the day it came out. Multitudes of citizens from different countries have learned their own ways to chant Que se vayan todos!; from Iceland to Tunisia, from Spain to Greece, from Tahrir Square to Zuccotti Park. Colectivo Situaciones' practice resonates with everyone seeking to think current events and movements, and through that to build a new world in the shell of the old.
In 2001 a mass popular uprising overthrew the neoliberal government in Argentina: thousands upon thousands of people, both in organizations and on their own, took to the streets, defying the government's curfew, shouting 'they all must go' until the president was forced to flee by helicopter. The uprising, a response to years of economic and political crisis, cannot be understood without understanding the broader ecology of movements and what Colectivo Situaciones defined as 'new social protagonists': the unemployed blockading highways, neighborhood residents coming together in assemblies, vast segments of the country surviving through alternative currencies and barter networks. This work, translated into English for the first time, brings together the conversations and theorizations of two key participants in that environment: militant research collective Colectivo Situaciones and the Movement of Unemployed Workers of Solano. The encounter and writing in common constituted a formidab

These words -- All of them out! -- hurled by thousands banging pots and pans, struck at every politician, economist, and journalist. These events opened a period of intense social unrest and political creativity that led to the collapse of government after government. Neighborhoods organized themselves into hundreds of popular assemblies across the country, the unemployed workers movement acquired a new visibility, workers took over factories and businesses. These events marked a before and an after for Argentina that resonated around the world. Colectivo...
In an uprising heard around the world, people in Argentina took to the streets on December 19th & 20th, 2001, shouting "¡Qué se vayan todos!" These words (All of them out!), and the thousands of people banging pots and pans, opened a period of intense social unrest and political creativity that led to the collapse of government after government. Neighborhoods organized themselves into hundreds of popular assemblies across the country, the unemployed workers movement acquired a new visibility, workers took over factories and businesses. Deeply involved in these movements were the activists who made up Colectivo Situaciones. With the embers of that December's aftermath still burning, Colecti...
Documents the theories, debates, successes, and failures of a rebellious tactic to build popular power. Genocide in the Neighborhood documents the autonomist practice of the "escrache," a system of public shaming that emerged in the late 1990s to vindicate the lives of those disappeared under the Argentinean dictatorship and to protest the amnesty granted to perpetrators of the killing. The book is an example of militant research, an investigative method that Colectivo Situaciones has pioneered. Through a series of hypotheses and two sets of interviews, Genocide in the Neighborhood documents the theories, debates, successes, and failures of the escraches--what Whitener provisionally defines ...
