This book examines experiences of home improvement in the UK and
Aotearoa New Zealand, providing valuable insight into the ways in
which people make and maintain home in social, material and
economic context. Drawing on in-depth interviews, examining both
DIY projects and projects carried out by professional handymen,
Rosie Cox explores how home improvement fits into wider social
relationships and structures of inequality. Consideration is given
to the importance of such work for gender and national identities,
and how these identities are related to material contexts and the
forms and fabric of homes. The book also highlights how home
improvement can be a rewarding and valuable form of work, as well
as an unrewarding and alienating endeavour. It will be of interest
to scholars from a range of disciplines including anthropology,
sociology and human geography.
