The book builds on several years of Melissa Garc僘-Lamarca's engagement with activist research in Barcelona's housing movement, in particular with its most prominent collective, the Platform for Mortgage-Affected People (PAH). What Garc僘-Lamarca learned from fellow activists and the movement in Barcelona pushed her to rethink how lived experiences of indebtedness connect to larger political- economic processes related to housing and debt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is also inspired by feminist scholars who integrate the lens of everyday life into explorations of contemporary political economy and by anthropologists who connect macroprocesses to lived experience. Distinctive in how it integrates a racialized, gendered, and decolonial perspective, Garc僘-Lamarca's research of mortgaged lives in precarious times explores two principal phenomena: first, how financial speculation is experienced in the day-to-day and differentially embedded in the dynamics of (urban) capital accumulation, and second, how collective action can unleash the liberating possibility of indebtedness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Garc僘-Lamarca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820362999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820362991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Melissa Garc僘-Lamarca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070861930751,"sku":"9780820362991","price":120.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f047eefc-91b3-4969-be98-929dd1f6ae89.jpg?v=1685432763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/non-performing-loans-non-performing-people-melissa-garca-lamarca-9780820362991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
