Resisting Eviction: Domicide and the Financialization of Rental Housing by Andrew Crosby

informative inspiring medium-paced

4.0

This book is well researched, thorough, and well organized with a clear trajectory from theoretical framing to methods to findings. As someone who works in an area related to tenants' rights in Ontario, some of the content was familiar to me but I still learned quite a bit and have come away with some new ideas that I think will be really helpful to eviction prevention work. I would have liked if the book included a bit more on the organizing dynamics of the Herongate Tenants' Coalition (ex. decision-making processes). I appreciated the level of detail in the assessments of different tactics and their effectiveness (like the usefulness of FOIs, different approaches to legal challenges, etc).
