| Summary: | You could say that “Owners of the Sidewalk” is yet another book about the informal economy of a postcolonial city.

What this book offers can be summarized in a sentence: it explains the (re)production of the informal underbelly of a city, along with its problems of insecurity and violence, with special attention to clarity of writing and the politics of ethnography. |
