Bringing Home the Housing Crisis: Politics, Precarity and Domicide in Austerity London

Often Portrayed As An Apolitical Space, This Book Demonstrates That Home Is In Fact A Highly Political Concept, With A Range Of Groups In Society Excluded From A ‘right To Home’ Under Current Uk Policies. Drawing On Resident Interviews And Analysis Of Political And Media Attitudes Across Three Case Studies – The Criminalisation Of Squatting, The Bedroom Tax And Family Homelessness – The Book Explores The Ways In Which Legislative And Policy Changes Dismantle People’s Rights To Secure, Decent And Affordable Housing By Framing Them As Undeserving.
