{"product_id":"rent-and-its-discontents-neil-gray-9781786605740","title":"Rent and its Discontents: A Century of Housing Struggle","description":"The 1915 Rent Strikes in Glasgow, along with similar campaigns across the UK, catalysed rent restrictions and eventually public housing as a right, with a legacy of progressive improvement in UK housing through the central decades of the 20th century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the decimation of social housing and the resurgence of a profoundly exploitative private housing market, the contemporary political economy of housing now shares many distressing features with the situation one hundred years ago. Starting with a re-appraisal of the Rent Strikes, this book asks what housing campaigners can learn today from a proven organisational victory for the working class. A series of investigative accounts from scholar-activists and housing campaign groups across the UK charts the diverse aims, tactics and strategies of current urban resistance, seeking to make a vital contribution to the contemporary housing question in a time of crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Gray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786605740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786605740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Neil Gray","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077365756159,"sku":"9781786605740","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ac1c039-10cf-4a21-ad57-2bf3f60fc404.jpg?v=1685469570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rent-and-its-discontents-neil-gray-9781786605740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
