{"product_id":"eviction-1","title":"Eviction","description":"Grounded in personal experience, Eviction uncovers a hidden history of housing injustice and working-class resistance in what has become a perennial battleground for social conflict in modern Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2017, Jessica Field’s parents and more than a hundred of their neighbours received warning of imminent eviction. Their corporate landlord intended to demolish their affordable, privately rented homes to replace them with middle-class houses for sale. Led by the women of the estate, tenants launched an anti-eviction campaign to save their close-knit community from destruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neighbourhood was the last remnant of a 1950s National Coal Board estate constructed to house local miners. When the coal industry declined in the 1970s, whole estates were auctioned off to speculators. Low-income tenants were at the mercy of global investors. Houses were left to rot. Rents soared. Tenants were exploited every step of the way. Yet time and again, tenant activists – especially women – fought back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEviction is a history of the British housing crisis in microcosm.","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54838504882514,"sku":"9781836743576","price":16.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/bild_2fa9f1e0-9f9b-4e6d-aef1-0d3cd5955e3f.jpg?v=1790339743","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/eviction-1","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
