From 1967 to 1973 nearly 400,000 low-income Chileans illegally seized parcels of land on the outskirts of Santiago. Today almost all of these individuals live in homes with property titles. As Edward Murphy shows, this transformation came at a steep price, through an often-violent struggle that continues to this day. In analysing this struggle, Murphy reveals a crucial connection between homeownership and understandings of proper behaviour and governance.
