• W2776103471 abstract "Emily Margaretten. 2015. Street Life Under a Roof: Youth Homelessness in South Africa. Urbana, Chicago and Springfield: University of Illinois Press. 213 pp. Street Life Under a Roof is an in-depth account of Point Place, a five-story apartment block and self-run shelter without running water, electricity, or sanitation in Durban, and where over one hundred young people live as a temporary escape from sleeping under the open sky. It is a rough urban environment with frequent deaths from gunshots, stabbings, beatings, tuberculosis, road accidents, and HIV/AIDS. The book is a well written and often gripping ethnographical study of the young, marginalized, and poor youth who live there, and who are separated from distant homes that are either unable or unwilling to provide for them. Throughout, the data that substantiates the analysis is rich and very detailed. Margaretten explores the aspirations and fears of the resident youth from the context of complex social relationships they produce, contest, and reshape in order to increase life chances. A main theme is the construction of kinship relationships that provide opportunities for betterment and survival. These help resolve disputes, open up for relations of social and material reciprocity, and diminish uncertainty. The constructions of identities within Point Place are shown throughout to differ from those outside. For instance, categories of kin, and the naming and claiming of relations such as brother, sister, baby, and mother are not just for fun but designate personal ties. They substantiate different obligations of companionship between youth in ways that traverse the familiar categorizations in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity. Thereby, the youth employ these terms to increase the possibility of trust, affection, love, and importantly, to secure shelter, safety and food. The multiple meanings and uses of the term 'love' are also shown to validate social practices around sharing; love is used to increase material gains and express mutual support; and it is used to signify the ambition of establishing a lasting connection (p. 67). Remarkably, the multiple invented relations of kin that provide for possibilities of future hopes are sometimes recognized by state institutions. This is exemplified as the constructed relations of kin gain the acceptance of city courts and relatives are allowed privileges that non-relatives normally would not be allowed, such as signing off for the release of friends and being allowed to follow juvenile cases. …" @default.
