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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781782388357 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781782388357 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781782388357/original ER -
