Uganda's capital, Kampala, is undergoing dramatic urban
transformations as its new technocratic government seeks to clean
and green the city. Waste Worlds tracks the dynamics of development
and disposability unfolding amid struggles over who and what belong
in the new Kampala. Garbage materializes these struggles. In the
densely inhabited social infrastructures in and around the city's
waste streams, people, places, and things become disposable but
conditions of disposability are also challenged and undone. Drawing
on years of ethnographic research, Jacob Doherty illustrates how
waste makes worlds, offering the key intervention that
disposability is best understood not existentially, as a condition
of social exclusion, but infrastructurally, as a form of injurious
social inclusion.
