Reviews

This beautifully written book is a marvelous addition to studies of the working classes in the Global South. It will change the way you think about capitalism, regional migration, food systems, and urban life. The book has stamina, and Devin Smart’s patient and subtle analysis makes it glow. * Kenda Mutonji, author of Matatu: A History of Popular Transportation in Nairobi *
