Mobilities and mobile phones: Street and market vendors’ reshaped everyday practices in post-pandemic Kitwe, Zambia
Economic hardships endured by street and market vendors during the COVID-19 pandemic impacted deeply on vendors’ livelihoods in the post-pandemic period. This paper explores whether, and in what ways, they contributed to the reshaping of vendors’ everyday movements across space and changes in their mobile phone use for the conduct of their small-scale businesses. Conceptually, the paper makes use of Cresswell’s politics of mobility to theorise di…
From (trans)national to local: The changed geographies of street and market vendors in (post)pandemic Blantyre and Limbe, Malawi
Small-scale traders often entertain spatially extensive connections of benefit to their businesses that are considered to be part of globalisation from below.

Contested urban spaces: The rationalities of (local and national) government and street vendors’ spatial claims in Kitwe, Zambia
The presence of street vendors on central city streets often raises questions over the use of these spaces. This paper addresses this issue through studying the practices of government, vendors and a vendors’ association in Kitwe, Zambia. Drawing largely on primary research collected between 2013 and 2018, this paper aims to understand a shift in the governing of street vending, from tolerating vendors on central city streets to banning them from…
The “Gray Spacing” of Market Vendors and Their Associations and Vendors’ Collective Agency in the Zambian City of Kitwe
Market vendors are often marginalized in urban spaces—they may be harassed, face threats to their workplace security, or lack opportunities to influence urban policy-making. Associations of market vendors have been identified as a potential means to represent vendors’ interests, offering vendors possibilities to improve their working conditions. Fieldwork has been conducted in 2013, 2016, and 2018 to understand the struggles of market vendors and…
Beyond associations: Emerging spaces of self-organization among vendors in Zambia
Collective organizing represents one way in which street and market vendors in urban sub-Saharan Africa advocate their interests and strive towards more inclusive urban policies. Several studies have shown both the opportunities vendors associations may have for vendors as well as their pitfalls. This paper contributes to this discussion by addressing how vendors have used the platforms of a national organization of vendors associations to develo…
The Effects of Negative Images on Young People's Willingness to Help Elderly People
We examined the effect of confronting young people with an image depicting them as unhelpful on their willingness to help elderly people. As expected, helpfulness increased when this image reflected the elderly's view of young people but decreased when it reflected objective information. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
