Abstract

Doherty's findings map the vicious cycle of harms specific to neoliberal waste-management interventions and their broader enablement of authoritarian development agendas that vilify the urban poor. I Waste Worlds i : I Inhabiting Kampala's Infrastructures of Disposability i offers an expansive rendering of urban sanitation policies and problems in Kampala, Uganda. Doherty documents community cleanup exercises, the work of scrap traders and salvagers, and the routines of city trash collectors and private trash contractors. [Extracted from the article]
