The Micropolitics of Housing Precarity

The chapter unpacks the proposition of the book to transcend home(lessness), starting from an epistemological effort to reapproach the inherent micropolitical value of any form of inhabitation. This is a question of retrieving the experience and knowledge of those precarious dwellers who are already using housing struggles as a gateway to more profound changes: it entails micropolitical attention to how one dwells in the world and to forms of inhabitation that are detached from, and opposed to, the expulsion and extraction structuring current ideals of home.
