- Title
HOUSEHOLDS AND THE PRODUCTION OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DOMAINS.
- Authors
Wilson, Alice
- Abstract
The article discusses the nature of "domaining," the production of public and private domains, in terms of the households of Saharawi refugees during the revolutionary period in Western Sahara. The author provides background information on the exile of Saharawi refugees following the annexation of Western Sahara by Morocco in 1975 and draws on ethnographic field work in order to analyze the role that households play in producing refugees with particular social dispositions. The production of more sophisticated and enclosed architectures in Saharawi refugee camps during the late 2000s is highlighted as indicative of the refugees' conception of their exile as a social revolution.
