Poverty is generally defined as a lack of material resources.
However, the relationships that poor people have with their
possessions are not just about deprivation. Material things play a
positive role in the lives of poor people: they help people to
build social relationships, address inequalities, and fulfill
emotional needs. In Materializing Poverty, anthropologist Erin
Taylor explores how residents of a squatter settlement in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic, use their material resources
creatively to solve everyday problems and, over a few decades,
radically transform the community. Their struggles show how these
everyday engagements with materiality, rather than more dramatic
efforts, generate social change and build futures.
