Reviews
"Horowitz takes readers through a deep dive into the history and culture of residential real estate in the United States. . . . This book offers a distinctive contribution to housing studies by combining the Great Recession with the COVID-19 housing crisis and situating them within a larger historical framework. . . . . The work provides an interdisciplinary investigation from cultural anthropology, history, sociology, economics, and political science."--Journal of the American Planning Association "Sharp and thoughtful . . . A good and provocative read. . . . Highly recommended."--CHOICE, Horowitz's book provides an original contribution to the literature by navigating the cultural representations of home in different forms of media in a time of severe crisis. Its core strength lies in its ability to combine wide ra[n]ging empirical material into a coherent narrative by making use of an interdisciplinary approach. His lucid style renders the book a pleasant read, not only for experts in the field but also for a wider audience interested in the housing question in the contemporary United States and the failed promises of the American Dream.-- Contemporary Sociology, Horowitz takes readers through a deep dive into the history and culture of residential real estate in the United States. . . . This book offers a distinctive contribution to housing studies by combining the Great Recession with the COVID-19 housing crisis and situating them within a larger historical framework. . . . .

Synopsis
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., 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.
