| This book examines organizing among waste pickers from different perspectives. Examples are drawn from around the world and the focus of analysis ranges from life-stories of waste pickers to waste picking in the context of a global trend of privatization of waste management. However, the key theme is waste pickers’ organizations. The organizations that are studied include mainly cooperatives such as "Independencia de la Mujer" in Montevideo, but also the trade union SEWA (Self-Employed Women’s Association) in India, and a private company. Furthermore, one of the chapters analyses broader networks and federations of waste pickers’ organizations, bringing together waste pickers regionally, nationally, and globally. | |
