En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the phenomenon of affluent second homeowners reshaping both rural and urban landscapes in America, particularly since the pandemic. It examines how these individuals, primarily from the upper-middle class, invest in second homes driven by a sense of place-identity, which influences their connection to these locations. Through extensive interviews and field research, the author highlights the social and political tensions arising from this trend, revealing how it exacerbates inequalities and alters community dynamics without fostering genuine local engagement.
