Reviews

One of the book's greatest contributions is its attempt to comprehensively characterize the everyday lives of the urban poor in a format reminiscent of classical ethnographic monographs in our discipline. Skrabut has an exceptional ability to conceptually elaborate on longer-term processes specific to the Global South from particular ethnographic evidence...Unruly Domestication stands out for its methodological rigour, rich ethnographic description, and the thought-provoking theoretical elaborations offered by the author. The book isa must-read for anyone interested in understanding how anti-poverty policies affect the way the urban poor of Latin America experience and make sense of their everyday lives in contexts of vulnerability and everyday interactions with the state.-- ""Social & Cultural Geography"" (10/29/2024 12:00:00 AM)
