- This book is based upon an ESRC-CASE PhD with WestGAP and Oxfam. It comprises a 3-year ethnographic case study of a neighbourhood experiencing gentrification, involving 54 interviews with local residents and community leaders. Critical insights challenged prevailing perspectives in gentrification which focus on middle-class experiences and conceive the working-class relationship with gentrification narrowly through displacement. The study revealed the unique experiences of working-class residents living with gentrification, negotiating and resisting its impacts in ways which challenge the denigrated depictions of working-class neighbourhoods used to justify gentrification. This research also produced a community report which mapped the impacts of gentrification.
