Summary

This book unfolds an original conceptual-methodological approach called 'speaking through houses' that combines multilayered biographies and inner voices of houses with wider political and structural conditions. Grounded in Zimbabwean case studies, it makes a unique Africa-centric contribution to broader urban theory, and particularly to theorising the relationship between property and personhood.
