{"product_id":"9781526194541","title":"Pubs for the people : The fight for the pint and the nation - Amit Singh","description":"A heartfelt case for why the English pub still matters and how we can save it. In 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. Making 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. Life 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":"Amit Singh","offers":[{"title":"272 pages, 3 black \u0026 white illustrations \/ 20\/10\/2026 \/ Society \u0026 social sciences","offer_id":57481429221751,"sku":"9781526194541","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781526194541","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
