This housing story will explore the housing history of my grandfather named Seiichi Aota.听 Throughout his 92 years (1928-2019), Japan experienced WWII, economic rise and fall, globalisation, and big earthquakes. The housing policies and land use have changed confronted changing socio-economic and political situations. From the perspective of my grandfather, this essay aims to highlight Japanese political context on housing. Interviews with his children (Aota family 2020, personal communication, March 2020) tell his housing story and livelihood.
Introduction
Introduction
Through time, the struggle of people who migrated from Peruvian rural areas to Lima, the capital of Peru, has been marked by the 鈥渋nformal鈥� occupation of the land that has transformed Lima into a megalopolis. In this context, the story of Maria kicks off in the 1960s when her family was forced to move from their original Tayabamba, a small town in the Andes, to Lima. Her emigration story is the trajectory of thousands of families that were forced to occupy Lima鈥檚 outskirts due to Shining Path terrorist actions in several towns of Peru.
Upon Israel鈥檚 establishment in 1948, a public and national housing block(s) programme, referred to in Hebrew as shikun or shikunim (plural), was established to provide dwellings to Jewish refugees and immigrants. The shikunim, the most common dwelling form in Israel, became increasingly controversial, leading to political strife, as well as turning into a symbol of the nation鈥檚 birth and of the Israeli government鈥檚 discriminating treatment of Mizrahi Jews,[1] most of who became the shikunim residents.
