Urbanites worldwide fight for their right to housing and the city in ways that encompass what Westernized and masculine takes on 'radical politics' make of them. This intervention proposes a decolonial, grounded and feminist approach to investigate how resistance to housing precarity emerges from uncanny places, uninhabitable 'homes' and marginal propositions. This is a form of 'dwelling as difference' that is able to challenge our compromised 'habitus' of home at its root, from the ground of its everyday unfolding. The article argues that only looking within those cracks, and aligning to their politics, new radical housing futures can be built with urbanites worldwide.
