Book Launch: Jonathan Tarleton presents Homes for Living: The Fight for Social Housing and a New American Commons
In conversation with Joshua Jelly-Schapiro

Urban planner and oral historian Jonathan Tarleton launches Homes for Living, a tale of two NYC affordable housing co-ops’ struggle over privatization, public goods, and the future of American housing. With a deft hand for mapping personal histories atop the greater housing crisis, Tarleton explores housing as a public good, movements for tenant rights and Indigenous sovereignty, and questions of race and class to lay bare competing visions of what ownership means, what homes are for, and what neighbors owe each other. Tarleton reads from the book, before an in-depth discussion with author and geographer Joshua Jelly-Shapiro (Names of New York). There will be an audience Q&A and signing following.
