When the Corporation of Glasgow undertook a massive programme of
council house construction to replace the city's notorious slums
after the First World War, they wound up reproducing a Victorian
class structure. How did this occur? Scheming traces the issue to
class-based paternalism that caused the reification of the local
class structure in the bricks and mortar of the new council housing
estates. Sean Damer provides a sustained critique of the
Corporation of Glasgow's council housing policy and argues that it
had the unintended consequence of amplifying social segregation and
ghettoisation in the city. By combining archival research of city
records with oral histories, this book lets the locals have their
say about their experience as Glasgow council house tenants for the
first time.
