| Synopsis: |
Since the beginning of scholarly writing about the informal economy in the mid-1970s, the debate has evolved from addressing survival strategies of the poor to considering the implications for national development and the global economy. Simultaneously, research on informal politics has ranged from neighborhood clientelism to contentious social movements basing their claims on a variety of social identities in their quest for social justice. Despite related empirical and theoretical concerns, these research traditions have seldom engaged in dialogue with one another. "Out of the Shadows" brings leading scholars of the informal economy and informal politics together to address how globalization has influenced local efforts to resolve political and economic needs - and how these seemingly separate issues are indeed deeply related. In addition to the editor, contributors are Javier Auyero, Miguel Angel Centeno, Sylvia Chant, Robert Gay, Mercedes Gonzalez de la Rocha, Jose Itzigsohn, Alejandro Portes, and Juan Manuel Ramirez Saiz. |
