The translocal geography of lodging in urban Zimbabwe[electronic resource] /by Miriam R. Grant, Arja Vainio-Mattila. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xvii, 233 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1 Introduction: Secondary Cities, Lodging Spatiality and Translocality -- Chapter 2 Urban Development, African Housing and the Spatiality of Lodging in Rhodesia/ Zimbabwe -- Chapter 3 Gweru: A Key Zimbabwean Secondary City -- Chapter 4 Rooms to Rent: Lodging, Spatiality and Environment -- Chapter 5 Lodging Household Dynamics and Livelihoods -- Chapter 6 The Owners: Landlords and Landladies -- Chapter 7 Lifetime Migrations. City Rooms, Translocal Networks and Rural Bases -- Chapter 8 Place, Space and Locale: Lodging Pathways within Gweru -- Chapter 9 Lodging and Community.

This book will argue that lodging is a hugely ignored, largely invisible but critical sector of housing provision and economic contributor of burgeoning African cities. It further connects the rural and the urban, challenging traditional definitions of locationally-bound communities. Lodgers create micro, local and translocal communities and the lodging system offers livelihood strategies. Rather than engage in the dominant portrayal of rural-urban as binary, dichotomous space, we maintain that lodging represents and supports the translocal community and relational networks of the extended family as it seeks to maximize access to resources.
