| Summary |
Combining classic methods of anthropological research and an engagement with the work of theorists such as Gilles Deleuze and Henri Lefebvre, Houses in Motion offers an ethnographic account of the complex attempts on the part of the state and the community to reconcile techno-rational conceptions of law, development, and city planning with local experiences of place, justice, relatedness, and possibilities for belief in an aggressively changing world |
