The Idea of Home in Law: Displacement and Dispossession

This book explores an important set of legal and policy issues surrounding the concepts of home and homelessness, taking a growing area of legal scholarship into the new arena of human rights and international law. Bringing scholars, activists, and practitioners together at a time of increasing concern about the role of law and policy in protecting people vulnerable to forced eviction, The Law of "Home" generates new insights for scholarship and for national and international policy debates.
