While hardly a radical form of global redistribution, these cash grants, often known as unconditional cash transfers, claim to offer a new type of care that is less paternalistic than other forms of assistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCaring Cash\u003c\/i\u003e explores the caring practices that these grant experiments produced in the Nairobi ghetto of Korogocho. After receiving the grants, people there did not only look after themselves and their family, friends, lovers, clients, and patrons but also maintained the bonds that held them all together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Putting his interlocutors' lives in conversation with ideas around care, ethics, and economies, Tom Neumark argues that for those in the ghetto, caring for relationships is as important as the care that takes place within relationships. Seeing care in this way reveals the importance of managing one's proximity, distance, and detachment from others, and raises questions about the disquieting decisions that allow people to live together amidst violence and poverty.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Neumark is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Development and the Environment and the Institute of Health and Society, at the University of Oslo.
