{"product_id":"urban-dreams-claudia-roth-9781836956945","title":"Urban Dreams: Transformations of Family Life in Burkina Faso","description":"\u003cp\u003e Claudia Roth's work on Bobo-Dioulasso, a city of half a million residents in Burkina Faso, provides uniquely detailed insight into the evolving life-world of a West African urban population in one of the poorest countries in the world. Closely documenting the livelihood strategies of members of various neighbourhoods, Roth's work calls into question established notions of \"the African family\" as a solidary network, documents changing marriage and kinship relations under the impact of a persistent economic crisis, and explores the increasingly precarious social status of young women and men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claudia Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836956940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836956945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Claudia Roth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460306088191,"sku":"9781836956945","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d96b9477-0307-4c4b-9cff-b820f418e1f0.jpg?v=1777413881","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-dreams-claudia-roth-9781836956945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
