How did this occur? \u003ci\u003eScheming\u003c\/i\u003e traces the issue to class-based paternalism that caused the reification of the local class structure in the bricks and mortar of the new council housing estates.\u003cbr\u003eSe?n Damer provides a sustained critique of the Corporation of Glasgow's council housing policy and argues that it had the unintended consequence of amplifying social segregation and ghettoisation in the city. By combining archival research of city records with oral histories, this book lets the locals have their say about their experience as Glasgow council house tenants for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seán Damer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474440576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474440578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.43d","brand":"Seán Damer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372506337535,"sku":"9781474440578","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d682e300-5da6-4b3a-926d-87f25b913dc4.jpg?v=1732726135","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scheming-sezan-damer-9781474440578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
