On the 14th June 2017, a fire engulfed a tower block in West London. Seventy-two people lost their lives and hundreds of others were left displaced and traumatised. The Grenfell Tower fire was the result of a long history of violence enacted by government and corporations. This book brings together activists, artists and academics to examine what happened, and why it happened. The Grenfell Tower fire illustrates Britain's symbolic order. It is the legacy of colonialism, austerity politics, and the dominance of the free market within which the lives of ordinary people have no value. The contributors offer a critical account of the various responses, to the fire, asking whether, whilst subject to continuing power and violence, we will ever really be 'after' Grenfell? Book jacket.
