Autor Kavita Dattaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 apr 2012
Migrants and Their Money chronicles the financial practices of low-paid migrant men and women living and working in London, within the context of the recent financial meltdown. Drawing on the fascinating stories and experiences of these migrants, Kavita Datta illuminates the ways—both formal and informal—they negotiate the complex financial landscape they encounter in one of the world’s economic capitals.

Recenzii
“In a research field usually populated by financial centers and elite intermediaries, here at last is a much needed analysis of the financial lives and geographies of low paid migrants in London.”
