Drawing on 15 years of fieldwork and over 300 interviews, Home SOS argues that the home is central to the violence and gendered contingency of existence in crisis ordinary Cambodia.

  • Provides an original book-length study which brings domestic violence and forced eviction into twin view
  • Offers relational insights between different violences to build an integrated understanding of women's experiences of home life
  • Mobilises the crisis ordinary as a critical pedagogy and imaginary through which to understand everyday gendered politics of survival
  • Positions domestic violence and forced eviction as manifestations of intimate war against women's homes and bodies located inside and outside of the traditional purview of war
  • Reaffirms and reprioritises the home as a political entity which is foundational to the concerns of human geography
