""Seaside Living"" delves into the captivating world of coastal habitation, exploring the allure and challenges of life by the sea. This comprehensive guide offers a global perspective on seaside residences, from bustling beach towns to remote island paradises. The book's central argument is that while coastal areas provide unique lifestyle opportunities, they also present distinct challenges that vary across regions and cultures. Divided into three main sections, the book first introduces readers to diverse coastal destinations worldwide. It then examines practical considerations such as housing markets and environmental factors, before exploring broader implications like community development and climate change adaptation. What sets this book apart is its balance of aspirational and practical content, providing a realistic view of seaside living across various socio-economic levels and geographic regions. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including demographic data and interviews with coastal residents, ""Seaside Living"" offers valuable insights for potential coastal dwellers, travel enthusiasts, and urban planners alike. The book's global perspective and accessible writing style make it an engaging read for anyone interested in the dynamic relationship between human communities and coastal environments.

This is the first academic monograph to focus exclusively on issues of race, ethnicity, whiteness and multiculture at the English seaside. The book calls for acknowledgement of the racialised nature of this environment, and proposes that its distinctive spaces, places, traditions and narratives should be included within broader analyses of race in contemporary Britain. Introducing the concept of ‘coastal liquidity’ to explain shifting ethno-racial demographics, migratory politics and spatial dynamics at the edge of the sea, along with the relative im/mobilities of the minority ethnic communities who move and reside there, the author provides a relational exploration of seaside experiences: both as a locus of racialised categorisation, exclusion and subjugation, and one of resistance, conviviality and intercultural exchange. Combining theoretical insight and empirical fieldwork, the book disrupts dominant thinking that fixes ontologically minority ethnic bodies to urban spaces, and overcomes their erasure and silencing from the seaside landscapes of the popular imagination.

The Seaside Institute has authored Views of Seaside in collaboration with more than 30 leading architects, designers, theorists and planners, each of whom has contributed an essay here that personally explores the town's impact."--BOOK JACKET.
