<br>
Informal urban street markets are made up of people buying and selling, fabrics and DVDs, cash moving from pocket to hand to pocket to hand. Food stall sellers sweat over open stoves. Illegal taxis compete for the business of the potential customer waving her
hand in the air. Fishmongers scale and slice farmed fish on blood-soaked chopping boards. An informal banking operation operates discreetly over a wooden box of apples. Plastic products of all shapes and sizes from all over the world sit in stacks. A refugee
who has just arrived in the country wanders through the stalls in the hope of hearing their own language.<br>
<br>
Informal urban street markets coalesce around innumerable lines of living, working, representing and imagining. In the process these are made and make themselves. This book pays attention to what takes place in these informal urban street markets. We reflect
on new modes of becoming that emerge from them: economic, subjective, institutional, spatial, emotional, bodily, or symbolic. How do encounters in informal urban street markets, fleeting or sustained, transform habitus and cultural capital, bodies, belonging,
economics, identities, consumption and production, and material culture. </font>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><font face="Cambria">In this book we ask what can these informal urban street markets and the people who populate them teach us? Are there emergent cultural, economic, political, social, technical
and environmental possibilities they can enable us to register? Do informal urban street markets generate solutions that can have a collective impact at the societal level?

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><font face="Cambria">A key aim of the book is to enable analyses of how relations of power interplay with all of these (Wise and Velayutham, 2009). This book will identify ways to offer support
to these sites of becoming and the people who energize them. The book will locate what we can learn from becomings that occur with informal urban street markets, becomings that require us to rethink how we ‘deal with oneself, other people, and things’ (Spinosa,
Flores and Dreyfus, 1997).<br>
<br>
