{"product_id":"eviction","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":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57586008129862,"sku":"9781804298886","price":22.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/08b2a1247b2dcd2a1ca429c8c657d4ae7ff0d84a23435daa34d2713fc4a3e9e1.jpg?v=1791879084","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/eviction","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
