Description

Explore the complex realities of urban life through this academic collection from Routledge. This book provides a deep look into the role of informal public transport, often known as paratransit, within the rapidly growing cities of Africa. By using field-based case studies, the text examines how these transport systems shape urban economies and city forms. Readers will gain insight into the lived experiences of the informal workforce. The book focuses on the survival tactics, voices, and agency of workers who often face stigma and precarious living conditions. It moves beyond broad generalizations to offer a micro-level analysis of the organization and politics behind these essential transport networks. This work is a valuable resource for those studying urban sociology, anthropology, and the socio-economic conditions of urbanizing Africa. It offers a unique perspective on how the politics of transport impact the lives of the urban poor and the development of modern African cityscapes.
