Rezensionen

"In this book, King challenges us to reconsider how we think about 'housing'. Focussing on the concept of dwelling, he argues that the housing research community shift away from studying the exceptions of policy failure, to thinking about subjective and individual experiences of housing more broadly." - Dr Helen Taylor, Cardiff Met, UK
