{"product_id":"money-has-no-smell-paul-stoller-9780226775302","title":"Money Has No Smell: The Africanization of New York City","description":"In February 1999 the tragic New York City police shooting of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed street vendor from Guinea, brought into focus the existence of West African merchants in urban America. In \u003ci\u003eMoney Has No Smell\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Stoller offers us a more complete portrait of the complex lives of West African immigrants like Diallo, a portrait based on years of research Stoller conducted on the streets of New York City during the 1990s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBlending fascinating ethnographic description with incisive social analysis, Stoller shows how these savvy West African entrepreneurs have built cohesive and effective multinational trading networks, in part through selling a simulated Africa to African Americans. These and other networks set up by the traders, along with their faith as devout Muslims, help them cope with the formidable state regulations and personal challenges they face in America. As Stoller demonstrates, the stories of these West African traders illustrate and illuminate ongoing debates about globalization, the informal economy, and the changing nature of American communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Stoller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226775305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226775302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2002 pg. 110","brand":"Paul Stoller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637126775039,"sku":"9780226775302","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96de86f8-6554-495a-9e53-f2bea3f3d17b.jpg?v=1765114081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/money-has-no-smell-paul-stoller-9780226775302","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
