Along the way, they take on private equity, yuppie gentrifiers and culture-war blowhards who use the pub as a prop for their rage-baiting patriotism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLife today can seem lonelier, angrier and poorer than it did before. But as Singh and Valluvan show, the pub offers the inviting prospect of a more equal, sociable and comfortably multiracial England.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sivamohan Valluvan,Amit Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526194546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526194541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sivamohan Valluvan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997508219135,"sku":"9781526194541","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pubs-for-the-people-sivamohan-valluvan-9781526194541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
