Abstract
This study considers urban poverty within Batu and Addis, Ethiopia, as an outcome of relationships. By unpacking the complex interplay between institutional action, perception, and lived experience of urban poverty, I contend that historical and social relationships between the poor and non-poor shape the plight of the urban poor. I further explore how these social and historical constructs are subsequently translated through institutional action and experience. Ethiopia's historical and social contexts nurture poverty and inform how the poor are perceived. Institutional action, perceptions and quotidian experiences with the other then compound the pre-established constructions and stigmas by re-enforcing classist systems, notions of deservingness, ethnic and social stigmas, and the attribution of blame. While urban poverty and the urban poor are not inherent in policy and State, the individual urban poor occupy an uncomfortable but central position within the minds of the Ethiopian non-poor.
