Tenement Nation

Working-Class Cosmopolitanism in Edinburgh

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tooley's study of the working-class Canongate community in Edinburgh's Old Town as they negotiate gentrification plans offers a complex view of class and nation. Tenement Nation looks at these negotiations between socioeconomic classes and even nationalities to show what Tooley calls a ""working-class cosmopolitanism"" in pursuit of social, economic, and political inclusion.
