Anna Lund and Sarah Buhler have assembled a superb group of scholars to investigate the concept of unhousing across a wide variety of legal fields: residential tenancies, human rights, municipal planning, mortgage enforcement and securitization, Aboriginal law, disability rights, prison administration, and judgment enforcement. Their findings reveal that the law can be a powerful force of expulsion and dispossession.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the same time, contributors offer rich evidence of resistance to legal unhousing. They illuminate how creative legal practices can assert housing as a human right by emphasizing the links between a stable, satisfactory place to live and people's well-being, dignity, and humanity. This compassionate study reinforces a fundamental shared truth: there's no place like home. It emphasizes that law can play a role in ensuring that every person has a home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57499197374837,"sku":"9780774873291","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/legal-unhousing","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
