American banks, to their eternal discredit, long played a key role in disenfranchising nonwhite urbanites and, through redlining, blighting the very city neighborhoods that needed the most investment. Banks long showed little compunction in aiding and abetting blockbusting, discrimination, and outright theft from nonwhites. They denied funds to entire neighborhoods or actively exploited them, to the benefit of suburban whitesan economic white flight to sharpen the pain caused by the demographic one.    And yet, the dynamic between banks and urban communities was not static, and positive urban development, supported by banks, became possible. In After Redlining, Rebecca K.

The case of AMP provides a unique lens through which to examine state and society relations in Pakistan, one that bridges literatures from subaltern studies, military and colonial power, and the language of claim-making.

It introduces the primary interlocutors and takes the reader to three different villages where the author conducted most of the interviews. These villages varied between the oldest predominantly Christian village, another predominantly Muslim village and a third largely mixed Muslim-Christian village in Okara district. It introduces the different occupational castes, the traditional forms of solidarity, and how these bonds of solidarity changed with the rise of the tenants' mobilization. It outlines arguments on the spatial history of rights, the provisional solidarities enabled by social movements, and the varied effect of NGOs and urban activists on rural grassroots mobilizations.\u003c\/p\u003e 2Politics as Process in Okara Military Farms chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter describes the political negotiation, ruptures, and innovations that allowed disparate groups of tenant farmers to come together across caste, gender, and religious differences and mobilize around a class identity as sharecroppers. The ethnographic analysis of AMP mobilization challenges the bifurcation of social movements between the \"the politics of distribution\" and \"the politics of recognition.\" This chapter argues that the fate of social movements is forged by how they negotiate both sides of power. It argues that peasant movements foreground different concepts of political possibilities from their own alternative and deeply rooted traditions as refracted through social histories. Hence, AMP does not presume an organic, essentialist position that is sometimes projected onto indigenous or peasant communities, nor does it posit a utopian open future. The politics of AMP are provisional, based around tenants' ability to translate customary rights and obligations into political action.\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter 3: The Afterlife of Colonial Infrastructure chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter looks at the regional history of canal colonization and provides a context for the establishment of military farms at the turn of 20th century Punjab. The canal irrigation projects ushered in a new era of regional modernity in Punjab with far reaching consequences for the relationship between land and people in this region. This chapter analyzes the formation of a distinct regional modernity in Punjab that brought the colonial state and peasantry in a direct relationship. It develops the classic theory of gift exchange to analyze the highly personalized relationship between people and colonial institutions that was created through large infrastructure projects that worked through dual idioms of modern technology and customary identities. This chapter illustrates how these dual links are appropriated and repurposed by tenant farmers to make claims over land.\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter 4: What Remains Buried Under Property? chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter examines the moral economy of land rights and the broader understanding of land rights politics as they are understood by different members of AMP. Land is one of the most important yet overlooked elements of social movements because it is often regarded as an economic resource, or exclusively as the object of contestation. However, the variation of land settlements, land relations, and the evolution of the property regime showcase varied cultural understandings of rights, value, and political subjectivity that is shaped by different conceptions of land rights. This abstract question also became an important source of discussion for the tenant farmers once they were able to occupy and cultivate their lands.\u003c\/p\u003e 5Movement and Mobilization chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter describes the subaltern meaning of land rights, which is different from the conception of rights based on citizenship and\/or property ownership. This chapter argues that the central force of a social movement is ontological: it ushers a new way of seeing and relating to the world. Social movements have the ability to take particular issues and universalize them as a form knowledge and praxis. For instance, the AMP enlarged tenants' objections to cash contract farming into a discussion of land reform, citizenship rights, democracy, and human rights in Pakistan by relating them to a history of the hardships of settlement, the experience of partition, and the poverty of the sharecropping regime. This provisional political identity is built around a narrative that allowed the tenant farmers to bridge gender, caste, and religious differences. However, this provisional source of solidarity grew weaker as the tenants made some gains.\u003c\/p\u003e 6Solidarities, Fault Lines, and the Scale of Struggle chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter examines the problems faced by AMP as the tenants' leadership allied with urban activists, civil society groups, and NGOs to gain publicity and visibility for their struggle. The aim here is to understand how scalability figures into subaltern politics of survival. The AMP subaltern and highly local articulations of land rights were represented in the abstract and universal framework of \"Rights\" favored by NGOs and \"Class struggle\" advocated by Left activists. These organization helped increase the visibility of AMP but they also created strong differences between the tenant farmers causing a split in the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e 7Coda chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe conclusion summarizes the author's approach to the study of AMP as a relationship between land (spatiality), rights, and political subjectivity in Punjab. Rather than looking at the settlement of the Okara military farms or the rise of peasant mobilization in isolation, the author demonstrates the relational aspects of technology, territory, identity, and power in shifting relations of rule and political agency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739792257367,"sku":"9781503608092","price":79.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781503608092.jpg?v=1720053158"},{"product_id":"the-tragedy-of-property-private-life-ownership-and-the-russian-state-9781509527014","title":"The Tragedy of Property: Private Life, Ownership","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRussian novels, poetry and ballet put the country squarely in the European family of cultures and yet there is something different about this country, especially in terms of its political culture.

In many Western societies, private property has acted as the private individual’s bulwark against the state; in Russia, by contrast, it has mostly been used by the authorities as a governance tool. Nineteenth-century Russian liberals did not consider property rights to be one of the civil causes worthy of defending. Property was associated with serfdom, and even after the emancipation of the serfs the institution of property was still seen as an attribute of retrograde aristocracy and oppressive government. It was something to be destroyed – and indeed it was, in 1917.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ironically, it was the Soviet Union that, with the arrival of mass housing in the 1960s, gave the concept of private ownership a good name. After forced collectivization and mass urbanization, people were yearning for a space of their own. The collapse of the Soviet ideology allowed property to be called property, but not all properties were equal. You could own a flat but not an oil company, which could be property on paper but not in reality. This is why most Russian entrepreneurs register their businesses in offshore jurisdictions and park their money abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fresh and highly original perspective on Russian history will be of great interest to anyone who wants to understand Russia today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘\u003ci\u003eThe Tragedy of Property\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of how Russia came to be as it is: a land of aspiration and anxiety, of challenge and opportunity, and of endless unasked questions.

This group of Christian and Muslim tenant sharecroppers, against all odds, successfully resisted Pakistan military's bid to monetize state-owned land, making a powerful moral case for land rights by invoking local claims to land and a broader vision for subsistence rights. The case of AMP provides a unique lens through which to examine state and society relations in Pakistan, one that bridges literatures from subaltern studies, military and colonial power, and the language of claim-making.

It introduces the primary interlocutors and takes the reader to three different villages where the author conducted most of the interviews. These villages varied between the oldest predominantly Christian village, another predominantly Muslim village and a third largely mixed Muslim-Christian village in Okara district. It introduces the different occupational castes, the traditional forms of solidarity, and how these bonds of solidarity changed with the rise of the tenants' mobilization. It outlines arguments on the spatial history of rights, the provisional solidarities enabled by social movements, and the varied effect of NGOs and urban activists on rural grassroots mobilizations.\u003c\/p\u003e 2Politics as Process in Okara Military Farms chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter describes the political negotiation, ruptures, and innovations that allowed disparate groups of tenant farmers to come together across caste, gender, and religious differences and mobilize around a class identity as sharecroppers. The ethnographic analysis of AMP mobilization challenges the bifurcation of social movements between the \"the politics of distribution\" and \"the politics of recognition.\" This chapter argues that the fate of social movements is forged by how they negotiate both sides of power. It argues that peasant movements foreground different concepts of political possibilities from their own alternative and deeply rooted traditions as refracted through social histories. Hence, AMP does not presume an organic, essentialist position that is sometimes projected onto indigenous or peasant communities, nor does it posit a utopian open future. The politics of AMP are provisional, based around tenants' ability to translate customary rights and obligations into political action.\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter 3: The Afterlife of Colonial Infrastructure chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter looks at the regional history of canal colonization and provides a context for the establishment of military farms at the turn of 20th century Punjab. The canal irrigation projects ushered in a new era of regional modernity in Punjab with far reaching consequences for the relationship between land and people in this region. This chapter analyzes the formation of a distinct regional modernity in Punjab that brought the colonial state and peasantry in a direct relationship. It develops the classic theory of gift exchange to analyze the highly personalized relationship between people and colonial institutions that was created through large infrastructure projects that worked through dual idioms of modern technology and customary identities. This chapter illustrates how these dual links are appropriated and repurposed by tenant farmers to make claims over land.\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter 4: What Remains Buried Under Property? chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter examines the moral economy of land rights and the broader understanding of land rights politics as they are understood by different members of AMP. Land is one of the most important yet overlooked elements of social movements because it is often regarded as an economic resource, or exclusively as the object of contestation. However, the variation of land settlements, land relations, and the evolution of the property regime showcase varied cultural understandings of rights, value, and political subjectivity that is shaped by different conceptions of land rights. This abstract question also became an important source of discussion for the tenant farmers once they were able to occupy and cultivate their lands.\u003c\/p\u003e 5Movement and Mobilization chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter describes the subaltern meaning of land rights, which is different from the conception of rights based on citizenship and\/or property ownership. This chapter argues that the central force of a social movement is ontological: it ushers a new way of seeing and relating to the world. Social movements have the ability to take particular issues and universalize them as a form knowledge and praxis. For instance, the AMP enlarged tenants' objections to cash contract farming into a discussion of land reform, citizenship rights, democracy, and human rights in Pakistan by relating them to a history of the hardships of settlement, the experience of partition, and the poverty of the sharecropping regime. This provisional political identity is built around a narrative that allowed the tenant farmers to bridge gender, caste, and religious differences. However, this provisional source of solidarity grew weaker as the tenants made some gains.\u003c\/p\u003e 6Solidarities, Fault Lines, and the Scale of Struggle chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThis chapter examines the problems faced by AMP as the tenants' leadership allied with urban activists, civil society groups, and NGOs to gain publicity and visibility for their struggle. The aim here is to understand how scalability figures into subaltern politics of survival. The AMP subaltern and highly local articulations of land rights were represented in the abstract and universal framework of \"Rights\" favored by NGOs and \"Class struggle\" advocated by Left activists. These organization helped increase the visibility of AMP but they also created strong differences between the tenant farmers causing a split in the movement.\u003c\/p\u003e 7Coda chapter abstract\u003cp\u003eThe conclusion summarizes the author's approach to the study of AMP as a relationship between land (spatiality), rights, and political subjectivity in Punjab. Rather than looking at the settlement of the Okara military farms or the rise of peasant mobilization in isolation, the author demonstrates the relational aspects of technology, territory, identity, and power in shifting relations of rule and political agency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867349266775,"sku":"9781503608764","price":21.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781503608764.jpg?v=1722282914"},{"product_id":"the-real-book-of-real-estate-real-experts-real-stories-real-life-9781612680798","title":"The Real Book of Real Estate: Real Experts.

However, we can look at patterns, how they might develop and thus give a direction to the future of real estate. This book wants to contribute to that. COVID-19 has had a considerable influence on society and real estate, particularly in the recent period. We are surprised by a development that we had not seen coming and that has seriously impacted our lives. The various manifestations of lockdowns around the world have been gradually phased out and reset in 2020. This has a structural impact on living, working and shopping and therefore has a direct impact on the use of property. Since COVID-19 will be present in many respects for the foreseeable future, the pandemic will have a significant impact on real estate and urban developments. Perhaps when we look back on this period, this pandemic will prove to have been the starting point for drastic property changes. Many were surprised by the empty shelves in supermarkets during the first days of the pandemic. The supply chains were running at full speed, but a large part of the retail sector came to a standstill or switched to online. Multi-channel has now really proven itself and COVID-19 has abruptly increased the demands on last mile logistics spaces. Much more will change in the area of supply chains. Moreover, in light of increasing trade tensions, there is a trend of onshoring and it is clear that logistics and warehousing will become increasingly important. Public space is also in the spotlight. The importance of parks and greenery was great during the lockdown. Guaranteed distance on streets and squares will remain the focus of attention in the coming period. Space is scarce. We need terraces in order to realize some turnover. And the fact that the car is currently considered a safe means of transportwhat does that mean in terms of traffic pressure? A number of real estate experts in the world at various universities have each looked at developments affecting the future from their own perspective and share that knowledge with everyone. Topics covered in this book are: (1) Blockchain and Real Estate in The Netherlands: A Database Exploring 2015-2018 and Extrapolation to the Future, (2) Principle of Substitution in the face of COVID-19 Pandemic: An Application to Tenants Choice in Commercial Real Estate Markets, (3) Selected Aspects of Slovenian Legislation on Lease of Agricultural Land and Forests, (4) Land Value Captures Potential in Norwegian Projects, (5) Environmental Stress and Contemporary Understanding of Human-built Environment Relations: Study Case on Zero-Waste City Ljubljana, (6) Property Development Viability and Community Spirit  Rethinking the Safety Angle, (7) Implementation of Land Policy at Local Level, and Impacts of the Functioning of the Real Property Market, (8) Work From Hotels: Is Hybrid the Future and (9) Real Estate as a Service.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886200074583,"sku":"9781536194142","price":138.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781536194142.jpg?v=1722539183"},{"product_id":"mortgages-fundamentals-issues-perspectives-9781600219184","title":"Mortgages: Fundamentals, Issues \u0026 Perspectives","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mortgage represents a loan or lien on a property\/house that has to be paid over a specified period of time.

Some types of alternative mortgages may have exacerbated price declines and damaged the finances of consumers and lenders. The use of mortgages with adjustable rates, zero down payment, interest-only, or negative amortisation features raise economic risk compared to traditional mortgages. Because some borrowers and lenders did not adequately evaluate these risks, housing finance markets have been hit with significant losses and financial markets have been in turmoil. Alternative mortgages offer some combination of adjustable rates, extremely low down payments, negative amortisation, and optional monthly payments. The prudent use of alternative mortgages offers benefits. For example, during periods of exceptionally high interest rates, adjustable rates may suit consumers expecting rates to fall. People whose incomes depend on commission or bonuses may be attracted to mortgages with flexible monthly payments. These benefits come with potential costs for the borrower and for the financial system. Adjustable rates shift the risk of rising interest rates from banks to borrowers. Low down payments increase the risk that borrowers will owe more than their house is worth if prices fall. A borrower owing more than the house is worth may be unable to sell or refinance the house. The use of alternative mortgages in these areas may have contributed to rising defaults and more volatile home prices. More than a trillion dollars of mortgages originated during the boom will reset their monthly payments by 2009.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886701752663,"sku":"9781606927892","price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781606927892.jpg?v=1722541239"},{"product_id":"improving-consumer-mortgage-disclosures-9781606929230","title":"Improving Consumer Mortgage Disclosures","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecent developments in the sub-prime home loan market have triggered concern in Congress and the public at large as to whether borrowers were fully informed about the terms of their mortgage loans.

Bills introduced in the 110th Congress, such as S. 1299 (Senator Charles Schumer et al.) and S. 2452 (Senator Christopher Dodd et al.) would seek to remedy perceived abuses particularly with higher-priced mortgage lending.

Foreclosures depress housing and commercial real estate prices throughout neighbourhoods, imposing serious costs on third parties. Each of the eighty closest neighbours of a foreclosed property can suffer a nearly $5,000 property value decline as a result of a single foreclosure. Communities with high foreclosure rates suffer increased urban blight and crime rates. When families have to relocate, community ties are cut, affecting friendships, religious congregations, schooling, transportation and medical care. Numerous foreclosures flood the market with excess inventory that depress other sale prices. Thus, foreclosures can harm other homeowners both by encouraging additional foreclosures and by reducing home sale prices, while decreased property values hurt local businesses and reduce state and local tax revenues.
