- This short monograph comprises research on the Grenfell Tower fire and broad issues of preparedness and equity. It uses a variety of theoretical perspectives, examples and historical and contemporary contexts arising from sustained research conducted as part of Preston's continuing role as ESRC Leadership Fellow for the Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research. It deploys theoretical perspectives from Marxism and Critical Race Theory, developing a novel framework for analysing preparedness failures (chapter 1). It applies these to the Grenfell Tower fire (chapter 2) concluding by examining the wider inequalities of preparedness in capitalism (chapter 3).
