Housing, social policy and difference by Malcolm Harrison
This book provides an overview of key social issues set in the context of housing. From minority ethnic housing needs to the housing implications of domestic violence, this broad-ranging study shows how difference is regulated and deploys a distinctive theoretical perspective applicable to other aspects of welfare.
".. an exceptionally well written and thoughtful book, successfully pulling together for discussion a variety of exclusionary experiences." Housing Studies
"... impressive in both its contribution to the theoretical debate and its analysis of the developments in the housing context in the UK and the issues facing policy makers and practitioners." HSA Newsletter "The book amply succeeds in its aim of showing the extent of 'difference' in housing. No one could fail to be impressed by the wealth of evidence that Harrison cites in this regard ... The chapters on social regulation in housing, disability and race deal impressively, and in a most scholarly fashion, with a vast amount of material, and constitute valuable and up-to-date reviews of these topics for housing and social policy students." HSA Newsletter
"A new and valuable contribution to the development of theory and its application in specific areas of social diversity and housing. The awareness of the literature and the very wide range of sources is a particular strength." Stuart Cameron, Senior Lecturer in Planning, University of Newcastle
