While this may also be true in Edinburgh, Scotland, a closer look reveals the growth of liberal democratic ideals in the working-class population, which has a much different goal: How can this European city keep the entrepreneurial forces of globalization from commodifying what is distinctly theirs?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eTenement Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, Christa Ballard Tooley explores the battle for a neighborhood called the Canongate in Edinburgh's Old Town. Tooley's insightful study of the working-class Canongate community as they negotiate gentrification plans offers a complex view of class and nation. The threat of the Canongate's redevelopment motivated many throughout Edinburgh to lend their support to the residents' campaign. Against such development projects, alliances formed between upper-class heritage supporters and working-class urban residents, all of whom turned to institutions such as the European Union and UNESCO for support in restricting commercial development. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTenement Nation\u003c\/i\u003e explores these negotiations between socioeconomic classes and even nationalities to show what Tooley calls a \"working-class cosmopolitanism\" in pursuit of social, economic, and political inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Working Out Class and Nation in Edinburgh\u003cbr\u003e 1.
