This volume of collected essays on housing in colonial and postcolonial Africa seeks to elaborate the how and the why. Housing is much more than a living everyday practice. It unfolds in its disparate dimensions of time, space and agency. Context dependent, it acquires diverse, often ambivalent, meanings. Housing can be a promise, an unfulfilled dream, a tool of self- and class-assertion, a negotiation process, or a means to achieve other ends. Our focus lies in analyzing housing in its multifacetedness, be it a lens to offer insights into complex processes that shape societies; be it a tool of empire to exercise control over private relations of inhabitants; or be it a means to create good, obedient and productive citizens. Contributions to this volume range from the field of history, to architecture and urban planning, African Studies, linguistics, and literature. The individual case studies home in on specific aspects and dimensions of housing and seek to bring them into dialogue with each other. By doing so, the volume aims to add to the vibrant academic debate on studying urban practices and their significance for current social change. 606 $acitizens 606 $adevelopment policies 606 $adisciplining 606 $aempire 610 $ahousing 610 $aAfrica 610 $aurban planning 610 $adevelopment policies 615 4$acitizens. 615 4$adevelopment policies. 615 4$adisciplining. 615 4$aempire. 676 $a900 700 $aBarker-Ciganikova$b Martina$4edt 702 $aBarker-Ciganikova$b Martina, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBodenstein$b Carl-Philipp, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRüther$b Kirsten, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWaldburger$b Daniela, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404112203321 996 $aThe Politics of Housing in (Post-)Colonial Africa$91893170 997 $aUNINA
