The book’s organizing principle is the echo: between text and image and between bodies and the stages

Eviction: A Social History of Rent cultural practices and the Piotr Piotrowski CentreGrounded 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 Fields 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.
