Recenzii

'Informal Markets, Livelihood and Politics: Street Vendors in Urban India is an important contribution to the growing field of global labour studies. It is the most comprehensive study we have of street vending. In its combination of rigorous scholarship and commitment to policies that give an institutional voice to these new “political subjects of labour”, Debdulal Saha has provided us with a template for future studies of street vending across the globe.'
Edward Webster, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa

Descriere

 This book delves into the sustenance and survival strategies of street vendors across seventeen cities in India and assesses the issues revolving around self-created markets, livelihood and politics that are contested in public space. It also presents a conceptual and theoretical understanding of different socio-economic and policy concerns pertaining to street vending in the country. The study shows how, despite the absence of legal frameworks and institutional support, these urban self-employed informal workers subsist by arranging ad hoc alternatives, creating informal institutions and negotiating with formal and informal actors in the market. It also discusses the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, and examines how inclusive the legal recognition is for these workers of informal economy.
