Reminisces of the Cuban Revolution (Che Guevara)
Hinterland: America’s New Landscape of Class and Conflict (Phil Neel)
i can't immediately think of a good text on capitalist enclosure, but im sure theres a marxist take on the highland clearances or "accumulation through disposession".
maybe peripherally, a critical geographic examination of resistance to the neoliberal order would be Places of Possibility: Property, Nature and Community Land Ownership (A. Fiona MacKenzie), though that is very academic. a more polemic and entertaining read might be Dixie Be Damned: 300 Years of Insurrection in the American South (Shirley & Stafford), which is maybe more of a forgotten history of insurrectionary struggles and contesting of mostly peripheral spaces where the reach of power is perhaps weaker than it purports.
my knowledge of the Empty Spain phenomenon as a historical process of intentional underdevelopment is gleaned from random articles, as its not frequently discussed in anglo media except in those weird promotional-genre articles where you can "buy a village in Spain for $500K" or a "home for $1000", which are completely uncritical and incurious, but nevertheless betray the strangeness of the present. i saw some translated doc once, but the name eludes me.
