This edited volume highlights cascading effects of the pandemic and
lockdown on informal economies of varied countries in the Global
South. Uneven development after colonization, imperialism, and
externally influenced conflict have caused many countries in the
formally colonized or semi-occupied countries in the world to lag
behind in wealth accumulation, investments in manufacturing, and
technology. The fact that these countries were dragged into world
market dynamics on an equal footing with already developed
countries exacerbated these inequalities and saw the rapid
burgeoning of informal economies. COVID-19 and the lockdown of
western countries unravelled global production chains, resulting in
hordes of workers in the Global South losing their livelihoods.
Even people engaged in traditionally locally-bound economic
activities, such as domestic work and sex work, found their
livelihoods disappear. This volume brings together case studies
from India, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to analyze global
economic disruptions as they affected informal sector workers who
were already largely invisible within state development policies.
The chapters question whether existing models of neoliberal
development are still conducive within the post-pandemic Global
South as it grapples with rebuilding economies, livelihoods,
institutions, and systems of governance.
