Abstrakt: "Home SOS: Gender, Violence, and Survival in Crisis Ordinary Cambodia" by Katherine Brickell is a book that explores the intersection of gender, violence, and survival in Cambodia. The author conducted 15 years of on-the-ground research and interviews with Cambodian communities to provide an in-depth analysis of the experiences of women facing domestic violence and forced eviction. The book challenges the notion of home as a safe space and highlights the structural conditions that perpetuate violence against women. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the home as a political entity and sheds light on the overlooked sphere of home in geographical studies. The book offers a unique perspective on the socio-economic and political transformations in Cambodia and their impact on women's lives. [Extracted from the article]
