{"product_id":"9788763538404","title":"The Byways of the Poor: Organizing Practices and Economic Control in the Developing World","description":"\u003cp\u003eImages of the poor often fall into two contrasting depictions; on one hand, individuals and communities labeled as poor are seen as powerless victims of deprivation, and on the other, as thriving in solidarity, and authenticity, uncontaminated by capitalist ways of life. The articles in \u003ci\u003eThe Byways of Poor\u003c\/i\u003e attempt to analyze poverty beyond these stereotypes. Drawing on cases from Zimbabwe, Mozambique, India, Bangladesh, Peru, and Mexico, and examining a diverse sphere of interactions, including those between donors and beneficiaries, local authorities and citizens, and employers and employees, the contributors in this book challenge traditional approaches to poverty, focusing on the resources, skills, and organizations by which individuals and communities struggle to alleviate their own financial and social hardships.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Museum Tusculanum Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061101412592,"sku":"9788763538404","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9788763538404_p0.jpg?v=1763750229","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9788763538404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
