Uncover the realities of urban poverty in Indian cities with this compelling exploration of rehabilitation housing for the displaced poor. This longitudinal ethnography reveals how these spaces create ‘citizenship in limbo,’ suspending the urban poor between slum and legal city. It critically examines state governance, systemic corruption, and the political struggles for housing, highlighting the crucial, gendered role of women in neighbourhood development. Essential for students and professionals in urban studies, law, and sociology, this book offers a vital perspective on marginalization and resistance in contemporary India.
