Book lounch: “It’s Not Where You Live, It’s How You Live” with John Bissett

This book takes us deep into the world of a public housing estate in Dublin, showing in fine detail the life struggles of those who live there. John is visiting New York to meet and share with New York-based housing struggles. This event will allow space for strengthening the Network Of Solidarity in the housing struggle.

The book emphasizes class and gender processes, revealing them to be the crucial dynamics in the lives of public housing residents. The hope is that this understanding can help change perspectives on public housing in a way that diminishes suffering and contributes to human flourishing and well-being.

Combining long-term research into residents’ lived experiences with critical realist theory, it provides a completely fresh perspective on public housing in Ireland and arguably, beyond.
