Product Description
It is the story of those who are uncomfortable with the question of where they live, of those whose only dream is a house with two windows, of those who have no home at all, of those who have lost their home, of those who miss their neighborhood, of those who cannot pay their rent, of those who cannot find shelter, of you, of me, of us...
Losing Home addresses the housing problem from a social policy perspective in the comparative geography of advanced marginality. Unlike previous studies, it sheds light on the invisible faces of poverty by making "notorious" and "dangerous" neighborhoods in both France and Turkey objects of study using Wacquant's methodology. Starting from the conceptualization of the state's right and left hands, it examines bodies, spaces, immigration experiences, transformations in production regimes, social policies, the housing problem, and poverty from an politico-economic perspective. The study, which addresses urban poverty on the basis of a historical and spatial construct, emphasizes that poverty is universally similar, that urban zones of exile are built by states, and that there may be ways out of the housing problem. In short, while searching for the perpetrator of the problem, the book arrives at production relations, the transformation in social policies, body politics, and police power, and asks: Is resistance possible?
