American Dreams, American Nightmares - Culture and Crisis in Residential Real Estate from the Great Recession to the COVID-19 Pandemic (Paperback)

Two decades punctuated by the financial crisis of the Great
Recession and the public health crisis of COVID-19 have powerfully
reshaped housing in America. By integrating social, economic,
intellectual, and cultural histories, this illuminating work shows
how powerful forces have both reflected and catalyzed shifts in the
way Americans conceptualize what a house is for, in an era that has
laid bare the larger structures and inequities of the economy.
Daniel Horowitz casts an expansive net over a wide range of
materials and sources. He shows how journalists and anthropologists
have explored the impact of global economic forces on housing,
while filmmakers have depicted the home as a theater where danger
lurks as elites gamble with the fates of the less fortunate. Real
estate workshops and popular TV networks like HGTV teach home
buyers how to flip-or flop-while online platforms like Airbnb make
it possible to play house in someone else's home. And as the COVID
pandemic took hold, many who had never imagined living out every
moment at home found themselves cocooned there thanks to
corporations like Amazon, Zoom, and Netflix.
