Many of Bolivia's poorest and most vulnerable citizens work as
vendors in the Cancha mega-market in the city of Cochabamba, where
they must navigate systems of informality and illegality in order
to survive. In Owners of the Sidewalk Daniel M. Goldstein examines
the ways these systems correlate in the marginal spaces of the
Latin American city. Collaborating with the Cancha's legal and
permanent stall vendors (fijos) and its illegal and itinerant
street and sidewalk vendors (ambulantes), Goldstein shows how the
state's deliberate neglect and criminalization of the Cancha's
poor-a practice common to neoliberal modern cities-makes the poor
exploitable, governable, and consigns them to an insecure
existence. Goldstein's collaborative and engaged approach to
ethnographic field research also opens up critical questions about
what ethical scholarship entails.
