"[T]his book represents a rich and important contribution to the study of social housing governance." – Housing Studies, Hal Pawson, University of New South Wales
"This book is definitely worth reading for academics interested in social movement theory and struggles for a decommodified housing system. Beyond that, housing activists from around the world can certainly benefit from the experience the English tenants’ movement has accumulated in decades of social struggles and now presented in a well-written and condensed form by Quintin Bradley." – Sebastian Schipper, Bauhaus-Universitat Weimar, Germany
