This book focuses on the economic, political, social, and cultural
dynamics of street economies across the urban Global South.
Although contestations over public space have a long history,
Street Economies in the Urban Global South presents the argument
that the recent conjuncture of neoliberal economic policies and
unprecedented urban growth in the Global South has changed the
equation. The detailed ethnographic accounts from postsocialist
Vietnam to a struggling democracy in the Philippines, from the
former command economies in Africa to previously authoritarian
regimes in Latin America, focus on the experiences of often
marginalised street workers who describe their projects and plans.
The contributors to Street Economies in the Urban Global South
highlight individual and collective resistance by street vendors to
overcome numerous processes that exacerbate the marginality and
disempowerment of street economy work.
