商品描述
When walking through Istanbul, one almost inevitably encounters informal waste pickers who clean up the city with their large, heavily loaded hand trucks. Many of them are male undocumented recycling workers from Afghanistan and Pakistan. This book analyzes their living and working conditions. Based on the results of ethnographic field studies, it examines how Afghan*Pakistani recycling workers are disenfranchised by the interaction of different border regimes between Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and the EU. It scrutinizes how, in this situation, they negotiate the fine line between exploitation and vulnerability on the one hand and agency and solidarity on the other hand in a highly precarious setting. The study highlights how they (re)produce a specific recycling infrastructure of transit through their everyday practices that ensures their survival in the transit space of Istanbul and facilitates their potential onward movement to the EU. The author understands their migrant waste picking practices as part of urban border struggles and illustrates how the infrastructure of transit that they (re)produce contributes to constituting Turkey as a migration society.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在伊斯坦堡漫步時，人們幾乎不可避免地會遇到非正式的垃圾撿拾者，他們用大型、重載的手推車清理城市。這些人中許多是來自阿富汗和巴基斯坦的男性無證回收工人。本書分析了他們的生活和工作條件。根據民族誌田野研究的結果，該書探討了阿富汗和巴基斯坦的回收工人如何因阿富汗、巴基斯坦、伊朗、土耳其和歐盟之間不同邊界制度的互動而失去權利。它仔細檢視了在這種情況下，他們如何在剝削與脆弱性、主體性與團結之間的微妙界線上進行協商，並在高度不穩定的環境中生存。該研究突顯了他們如何通過日常實踐（重新）構建一個特定的回收基礎設施，以確保他們在伊斯坦堡的過境空間中的生存，並促進他們潛在的向歐盟的移動。作者將他們的移民垃圾撿拾行為視為城市邊界鬥爭的一部分，並說明了他們（重新）構建的過境基礎設施如何有助於將土耳其構建為一個移民社會。
