Reclaiming Waste, Remaking Communities: Persistence and Change in Delhi's Informal Garbage Economy examines the unanticipated impact of expanded municipal garbage collection services in Delhi, India in the mid-2000s through public-private partnerships (PPP) that included collection trucks and incinerators. Drawing on twenty months of ethnographic research, I ask how it is that informal collectors, who rely on pedal-powered tricycle carts and their hands to extract recyclables, have survived the expansion of these formal services that threatened their livelihoods and the city's only system for recycling. Despite being heavily supported by the government, these PPP services were effectively stalled and transformed by the resilience of the collector-recyclers' unofficial enterprise, ensuring the continuation of a recycling network. The manuscript addresses the following questions: What do economic relations look like in this context, and what kinds of moral economies configure them? How are social relations and status distinctions reproduced and transformed through transactions of garbage and money? And how does the legacy, experience, and threat of stigmatization-embodied in the idea and object of garbage and ranging in scale from individual practice to global reputation maintenance-shape transactional possibilities? Revealing how forms of economic life across multiple scales depend on caste/community relations, the navigation of caste and (post)colonial stigma, and the reproduction of status through transactions, the dissertation brings together literatures from economic sociology and anthropology, political ecology, and theories of caste/race in order to explain persistent forms of unofficial economic organization.
