Description

Livelihoods at the Margins: Surviving the City offers a deep look into the lives of people living on the edges of urban environments. While sex workers, street hawkers, drug sellers, and cleaners are common sights in cities, they are often left out of mainstream economic studies. This book provides a necessary perspective on populations that are frequently misunderstood by the public and policymakers. Written by anthropologists and development practitioners, this work uses fine-grained ethnographic research to challenge common narratives. Instead of romanticizing or demonizing these individuals, the authors provide a realistic view of their daily lives. The text moves past standard sustainable livelihoods frameworks to look at the actual agency these people hold over their own lives. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in anthropology, sociology, and urban development. It provides a clear, research-based understanding of how people navigate urban survival and the economic realities of life on the margins.
