Money Has No Smell pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
In February 1999 the tragic New York City police shooting of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed street vendor from Guinea, brought into focus the existence of West African merchants in urban America. In Money Has No Smell, Paul Stoller offers us a more complete portrait of the complex lives of West African immigrants like Diallo, a portrait based on years of research Stoller conducted on the streets of New York City during the 1990s. Blending fascinating ethnographic description with incisive social analysis. Stoller shows how these savvy West African entrepreneurs have built cohesive and effective multinational trading networks, in part through selling a simulated Africa to African Americans. These and other networks set up by the traders, along with their faith as devout Muslims, help them cope with the formidable state regulations and personal challenges they face in America. As Stoller demonstrates, the stories of these West African traders illustrate and illuminate ongoing debates about globalization, the informal economy, and the changing nature of American communities.
還行,一星給文筆。好多重復的故事比較不能忍。
評分我以前有個誤會,以為美國的黑人都是從黑奴、馬丁路德金那個傳統過來的,但是,讀瞭這本書我纔知道,還有很多黑人是土生土長的非洲人,隻是在全球化貿易的裹挾之下,到瞭美國。他們留戀的是自己的非洲故土。他們頑強而靈活的生存能力讓我咋舌。作者想要呈現的,大概是全球化時代的圖景,以及各種界限消弭的進程,比如,黑人販賣的非洲商品,其實不少齣自韓國人和華人之手,這真是很有趣啊。
