- More about Scheming: A Social History of Glasgow Council Housing, 1919-1956
Scheming traces the issue of class-based paternalism to the reification of the local class structure in council housing estates, leading to social segregation and ghettoisation in Glasgow. It combines archival research with oral histories to give locals a voice.

When the Corporation of Glasgow embarked on a significant initiative to construct council houses to replace the city's infamous slums following the First World War, they inadvertently replicated a Victorian class structure. This occurrence is explored in detail in Scheming, which attributes the issue to class-based paternalism that resulted in the concrete manifestation of the local class structure within the new council housing estates. Sen Damer offers a comprehensive critique of the Corporation of Glasgow's council housing policy, contending that it had the unintended consequence of exacerbating social segregation and ghettoization in the city. By combining archival research of city records with oral histories, this book provides a unique platform for the locals to share their experiences as Glasgow council house tenants for the first time.
