Description

Explore the complex realities of urban resettlement in one of the world's largest cities. In A Place to Call Home, Ramya Ramanath, an Associate Professor at DePaul University, provides a detailed ethnographic field study regarding the lives of women displaced by slum clearance. This research focuses on those relocated to the largest slum resettlement site in Asia, offering a perspective often missing from urban planning. By examining the lives of women from diverse backgrounds, this book addresses how politics and economics shape the city. The study includes conversations with women of various ages, education levels, employment types, and marital statuses. It also looks at how ethnicity, caste, religion, and household makeup influence their experiences. This work is an essential resource for those studying urban politics, policy, and the social sciences, providing a deep look at how women act as agents of change within changing urban landscapes.
