''No Land! No House! No Vote! Voices from Symphony Way (2011)'' is an anthology of 45 factual tales written and edited by the controversial Symphony Way Pavement Dwellers. The foreword to the book is written by the well-known activist and author Raj Patel〔(The Symphony Way ) ''Raj Patel''〕 and the introduction is penned by Miloon Kothari, Former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Adequate Housing. ==Summary== The book follows hundreds of shackdwellers in the township of Delft in Cape Town. In early 2007, they were moved into houses they had been waiting for since the end of Apartheid but soon were told that the move had been illegal and they were removed from their new homes. In protest, they occupied Symphony Way, a main road opposite the housing project. It soon blossomed into a settlement of hundreds of shacks inhabited by organised protesting families. It became known as Symphony Way and was the home ground of the Symphony Way Anti-Eviction Campaign, whose membership vowed to stay on the road until the government gave them permanent housing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=2011: Year of interesting books coming )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=No Land! No House! No Vote! )〕 The community was eventually evicted after almost two years occupying Symphony Way. They were moved to the infamous Blikkiesdorp temporary relocation area where they are still struggling for land and housing.〔(CT to evict pavement dwellers ) ''News24''〕〔(Symphony Way is not dead. We are still Symphony Way. We will always be Symphony Way. ) ''Anti-Eviction Campaign''〕 The stories are real-life accounts of the struggle of the pavement dwellers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Land!
