Place and identity: home as performance (1st)

The UK is experiencing a housing crisis unlike any other.

Homelessness is on the increase and more people are at the mercy of landlords due to unaffordable housing.

This book highlights that the meaning of home is not just found within the bricks and mortar; it is constructed from the network of place, space and identity and the negotiation of conflict between those - it is not a fixed space but a link with land, ancestry and culture.

It fuses philosophy and the study of home based on many years of extensive research.

Richardson looks at how the notion of home, or perhaps the lack of it, can affect identity and in turn the British housing market.
