The aim of this global approach is to repudiate the assumption that street vending is usually carried out in the Southern hemisphere and to reveal how it also represents an essential—and constantly growing—economic practice in urban centers of the Global North. Although street vending activities vary due to local specificities, this anthology illustrates how these urban practices can also reveal global ties and developments.Street vendorsSocial conditionsCase studiesStreet vendorsEconomic conditionsCase studiesPeddlingSocial aspectsCase studiesPeddlingEconomic aspectsCase studiesInformal sector (Economics)Case studiesUrban economicsCase studiesanthology.anthropology.berlin.business.cities.city life.cooking.culture.diverse economies.economic activity.economic practices.engaging.ethnicity.family.food and wine.global ties.harlem.history.local economies.local food.marginalized economies.mexico city.neighbors.new york city.northern hemisphere.nostalgia.opportunism.retail.small business.social issues.street food.street vending.street vendors.urban centers.urban practices.Street vendorsSocial conditionsStreet vendorsEconomic conditionsPeddlingSocial aspectsPeddlingEconomic aspectsInformal sector (Economics)Urban economics381/.18Graaff KristinaHa NoaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797911603321Street vending in the neoliberal city3836958UNINA
