Krátky popis
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. In 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. The
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. Eviction is a history
of the British housing crisis in microcosm.
