Review Quotes
"The relevance and uniqueness of Graff and Ha's edited volume makes it a must read for anyone interested in the complex intersections of social dimensions and phenomena in the study of cities from a global perspective." - Urbanities. Journal of Urban Ethnography
"Street Vending in the Neoliberal City does a good job of conveying the diversity of street vending forms, while also emphasizing their many common qualities and obstacles. One of the most original features of the collection is its emphasis on the United States, whereas ethnographies of street vending often focus on the 'Third World.'... Street vending may be marginalized by many officials and elites, but it is hardly marginal, and no analysis of modern economics and capitalism would be complete without considering it." - Anthropology Review Database
"Overall, this is an excellent book. The collection of essays the editors have brought together is quite impressive . . . The quality is consistently high, and the originality and richness of the writing is very compelling." - Jonathan Shapiro Anjaria, Brandeis University
