| "In Resisting Eviction, Andrew Crosby investigates the social relations of rule and resistance in the processes of gentrification, eviction, and the financialization of rental housing. Troubling discourses of urban liveability, revitalization, and improvement, Crosby examines the deliberate destruction of home--domicide--at a key site of redevelopment in the City of Ottawa, on unceded Algonquin homelands. Heron Gate is a large rental neighbourhood owned by one real estate investment firm. Around 800 people--predominantly lower-income, racialized households--have been evicted and displaced from the neighbourhood since 2016, leading to the emergence of the Herongate Tenant Coalition to fight the evictions and confront the landlord-developer. This case study is meticulously documented through political activist ethnography, making this book a brilliant example of ethical engagement and methodological integrity."-- |
