Searching for community by Jeremy Brent

Searching for community by Jeremy Brent

This book examines ways to understand and engage with the troublesome concept of 'community', presenting a variety of perspectives to challenge the ways in which areas of poverty and disrepute are represented.

"Jeremy Brent added more than 25 years of work on a single housing estate to his incisive understanding of contemporary social theory to produce the best book on the contested and slippery reality of 'community' to be seen in yearsAn absolute must." Paul Hoggett, Professor of Politics, University of the West of England
