“DI NUNZIO (Marco). The Act of Living: Street Life, Marginality, and Development in Urban Ethiopia”, par Diego Malara
The Act of Living is a masterfully crafted study of street life, marginality and development in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. Offering a painstaking analysis of how young men’s and women’s lives unfold in marginal spaces, Di Nunzio avoids reducing their “acts of living” to frustrated forms of resistance, straightforward products of external constraints, or attempts at transcending those constraints doomed to reproduce the basis of subjugation.
