{"product_id":"9781526194541","title":"Pubs for the People","description":"A heartfelt case for why the English pub still matters and how we can save it.\n \nIn Pubs for the people, Amit Singh and Sivamohan Valluvan offer a daring defence of the humble public house, waging battle against those who see the pub only as a poignant symbol of a bygone England. \n\nMaking a journey into the nation's living room, they blend tales of Singh's father - the founder of London's first 'Desi pub' - with a lively travelogue that carries them from a hipster nightmare in Shoreditch to an izakaya-inspired Eccles pub run by migrants from Hong Kong. Along the way, they take on private equity, yuppie gentrifiers and culture-war blowhards who use the pub as a prop for their rage-baiting patriotism.\n  \nLife today can seem lonelier, angrier and poorer than it did before. But as Singh and Valluvan show, the pub offers the inviting prospect of a more equal, sociable and comfortably multiracial England.","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57685526217077,"sku":"9781526194541","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781526194541.jpg?v=1792593772","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.info\/products\/9781526194541","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
