Recenzii
Burning Matters is ethnographically rich with Little's attention to detail and his elegant descriptions of labour and life around e-waste in Agbogbloshie. This thick ethnography sets a new bar for ethnographies of e-waste, precarious labour and urban African marginalities. In addition, the book excellently weaves together history, global forces, technologies and e-waste politics at Agbogbloshie. Burning Matters is a pioneer oeuvre and an excellent contribution to the growing body of ethnography of e-waste in urban Africa.
