La espera como sistema de opresión: acceso a la vivienda en la Amazonía ecuatoriana.

The struggle for a dignified life is an extensive path that includes different dimensions of living, inhabiting and building, of disputing space and property. Frequently it begins with the search for access to housing, but it is fed by struggles for access to health, education, work. In response to these demands, in the last decade, in Ecuador, the production of social interest housing has increased while the sense of struggle of the population has been limited. Through an ethnographic approach to the beneficiaries of the "Casa para Todos" project in the Ecuadorian Amazon, and a detailed analysis of the form of government and housing policies, the question is answered, in what way has the Ecuadorian State generated oppression and subordination to through the production of social interest housing and its parallel public policies? The results show that the way of acting of the State and its strategy, consciously or unconsciously to create a subordination of the poor, is successful. The action of the State through agreements with the beneficiaries is aimed at generating powerless people, who remain in a constant state of uncertainty and arbitrariness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
