Drawing on a decade of embedded, ethnographic research in Lima's largest and most recently founded \"extreme poverty zone,\" Kristin Skrabut demonstrates how Peru's efforts to fight poverty by formalizing property, identity, and family status perpetuate environmentally unsustainable urban sprawl, deepen discrimination against single mothers, and undermine Peruvians' faith in public officials and in one another. In the process, Skrabut reveals myriad entanglements of poverty, statecraft, and private life, exploring how families are made and unmade through political practices, how gender inequalities are perpetuated through policy, and how Peruvians' everyday pursuits of state-sanctioned domestic ideals reproduce informality and landscapes of poverty in the urban periphery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The only full-length ethnography written about Lima's iconic and policy-inspiring shantytowns in thirty years, \u003ci\u003eUnruly Domestication\u003c\/i\u003e provides valuable insight into the dynamics of housing and urban development in the Global South, elucidating the most intimate and profound effects of global efforts to do good. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin Skrabut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477329099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477329092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Kristin Skrabut","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45897484566783,"sku":"9781477329092","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_384dda58-f14a-448e-8210-c2112f63e466.jpg?v=1721374038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unruly-domestication-kristin-skrabut-9781477329092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
