CONTEMPORARY HOUSING STRUGGLES - IOANA FLOREA A...

This OA book provides a comparative study of housing contention in Budapest and Bucharest in
2008-2021. The financialization of housing and the resulting inequalities  expulsions and
social contention are a central characteristic of today's capitalist crisis. These two East
European cities that fall outside the usual focus of urban movements research provide an
illuminating case of similar structural conditions governed by different political
constellations at the national and local scales. Instead of searching for unilinear narratives
connecting structural tensions to politicized claims  the book offers an in-depth contextual
analysis of multiple forms of contention  their (often unintentional) interactions  and their
broader political-structural background  including tensions surrounded by political silence.
The authors analyze the two cases and their comparative lessons through what they propose as a
structural field of contention approach to the multiple  interconnected ways in which
structural tensions become (or not) politicized in today's social movements. The book will
appeal to everyone interested in today's urban tensions and social movements.
