This Research Agenda argues that it is not enough to simply diagnose the geographies of gentrification, but that we need to prescribe solutions. Showing that grounded knowledge of gentrification’s intersection with class, race and sexuality can help inform strategies of resistance, this is an internationally-relevant book which flags exciting new directions in gentrification scholarship and activism.’ – Philip Hubbard, King’s College, London, UK Jun 2023 c 224 pp Hardback 978 1 80088 319 2 c £95.00 / c $135.00 eBook • Elgaronline Elgar Research Agendas For our electronic content, visit: elgaronline.com SOCIOLOGY & SOCIAL POLICY TITLES, APRIL – JUNE 2023 3
