{"product_id":"9781399759816","title":"Housing a Nation : Seven generations of Irish land, politics and power","description":"\u003cp\u003eExpertly researched, clearly presented and consistently thought-provoking' Irish IndependentFollowing seven generations of a family as they move through history, beginning with a nineteenth-century labourers' cottage and ending with a present-day quest to get a footing on the property ladder, Housing a Nation paints a picture of how and where Irish people have lived in the past - and shows us how each era and generation has influenced the state of housing in Ireland today.   From the shadow of the Big House to Ballymun's high-rises, from the Land League to the Celtic Tiger, this book reveals how housing reflects deeper struggles over class, nationalism and ideology.   A landmark history blending archival material with social commentary, Housing a Nation shows how homes are more than places to live - they are the lens through which we understand identity, power and belonging. And the key to imagining a different future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55732331872632,"sku":"9781399759816","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781399759816.jpg?v=1794282730","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781399759816","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
