Informal Workers and Collective Action is a wonderful and extremely rich collection of case studies of informal workers' movements that covers an impressive range of countries and industries. It offers a truly comparative view of informal workers' movements across countries and industries. This book will make an enormous contribution to our budding understanding of informal workers' movements at a global level. -Rina Agarwala, Johns Hopkins University, author of Informal Labor, Formal Politics, and Dignified Discontent in India
