Divisions and solidarities

Descripción

"Using both survey and case study data on working class persons in Lima, Scott argues that class fragmentation among the urban poor has been exaggerated and distorted. In addition to divisions between formal and informal sectors, aspects such as gender and skill, family affiliation, and the changing labor market are just as important, if not more so, when studying employment structure and divisions"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
