Recenzii

'This book is refreshing and progressive in its prioritisation of the human experience of poverty and the way in which itt spotlights housing as a significant factor in the colossal changes that occured during this pivotal period in history.' Aimee Walshaw, Housing Studies
'In this fascinating collection, an impressive team of scholars examine an important and previously neglected aspect of the lives of the poor from diverse perspectives.'
- Robert Shoemaker, University of Sheffield, UK
