Book review: The right to housing: laws, concepts, possibilities

"The Right to Housing: Laws, Concepts, Possibilities." Jessie Hohmann. Hart Publishing. March 2013. --- Drawing on insights from disciplines including law, anthropology, political theory, philosophy and geography, this book aims to address important questions on the role of human rights in belonging and citizenship, the formation of identity, the perpetuation of forms of social organisation and, ultimately, of the relationship between the individual and the state. Matt Hartman finds that Jessie Hohmann’s work is a fitting introduction to the convoluted topic of housing as a human right.
