Resumo(s)
Poverty is generally defined as a lack of material resources. However, the relationships that poor
people have with their possessions are not just about deprivation. Material things play a positive
role in the lives of poor people: they help people to build social relationships, address
inequalities, and fulfill emotional needs. In Materializing Poverty, anthropologist Erin Taylor
explores how residents of a squatter settlement in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, use
their material resources creatively to solve everyday problems and, over a few decades, radically
transform the community. Their struggles show how these everyday engagements with
materiality, rather than more dramatic efforts, generate social change and build futures.
