In Search of Home explores a new yet less explored space of urban
poverty - rehabilitation housing for the displaced poor, which
increasingly dots the peripheries of Indian cities. This
longitudinal ethnography examines these new liminal zones suspended
between a slum and the legal city, producing 'citizenship in-limbo'
and relegating the poor to perpetual dependence on the state albeit
legal residence. It examines how the flexible governance of such
housing produces illegalities, and how state institutions and
actors stand to gain through systemic corruption that co-opts urban
poor groups, pre-empting radical resistance. This book makes
central the gendered nature of such politics, detailing the
everyday political work of women, vital to the development of poor
neighbourhoods and political struggles for housing. This analysis
of rehabilitation housing policies and their implementation,
chronicles the myriad strategies employed by the urban poor, from
documenting to political performances, in their struggles for a
home.
