| Zusammenfassung: | The persistence of Indigenous African markets in the context of a hostile or neglectful business and policy environment makes them worthy of analysis. An investigation of Afrocentric business ethics is long overdue. Attempting to understand the actions and efforts of informal traders and artisans from their own points of view, and analysing how they organise and get by, allows for viable approaches to be identified to integrate them into global urban models and cultures. Using the utu-ubuntu model to understand the activities of traders and artisans in Nairobi's markets, this book explores how, despite being consistently excluded and disadvantaged, they shape urban spaces in and around the city, and contribute to its development as a whole. With immense resilience, and without discarding their own socio-cultural or economic values, informal traders and artisans have created a territorial complex that can be described as the African metropolis. African Markets and the Utu-buntu Business Model sheds light on the ethics and values that underpin the work of traders and artisans in Nairobi, as well as their resilience and positive impact on urbanisation. This book makes an important contribution to the discourse on urban economics and planning in African cities. |

With immense resilience, and without discarding their own socio-cultural or economic values, informal traders and artisans have created a territorial complex that can be described as the African metropolis. African Markets and the Utu-buntu Business Model sheds light on the ethics and values that underpin the work of traders and artisans in Nairobi, as well as their resilience and positive impact on urbanisation. This book makes an important contribution to the discourse on urban economics and planning in African cities.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Informal sector (Economics)</subfield><subfield code="z">Kenya</subfield><subfield code="z">Nairobi.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Kenya</subfield><subfield code="x">Economic conditions.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Kenya</subfield><subfield code="x">Economic conditions.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85071994</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Secteur informel (Économie politique)</subfield><subfield code="z">Kenya</subfield><subfield code="z">Nairobi.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Kenya</subfield><subfield code="x">Conditions économiques.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Development studies.</subfield><subfield code="2">bicssc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sociology: work & labour.</subfield><subfield code="2">bicssc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Urban & municipal planning.</subfield><subfield code="2">bicssc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Urban communities.</subfield><subfield code="2">bicssc</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Social Science</subfield><subfield code="x">Developing & Emerging Countries.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Social Science</subfield><subfield code="x">Sociology</subfield><subfield code="x">Urban.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Informal sector (Economics)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Kenya</subfield><subfield code="z">Nairobi</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJccgHVhXJcjCxQ6cXJxDq</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Africa</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Cities</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Markets</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Urban planning</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Utu-buntu</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">African markets and the utu-ubuntu business model</subfield><subfield code="d">Cape Town, South Africa : African Minds, 2019.</subfield><subfield code="z">9781928331780</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2020500006</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBU</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBU</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2112707</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Afrcian Books Collective</subfield><subfield code="b">AFBC</subfield><subfield code="n">582389</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">2112707</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Knowledge Unlatched</subfield><subfield code="b">KNOW</subfield><subfield code="n">3d92fef1-4abe-42c6-afc7-4d09ecd72096</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Project MUSE</subfield><subfield code="b">MUSE</subfield><subfield code="n">muse75691</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">OAPEN Foundation</subfield><subfield code="b">OPEN</subfield><subfield code="n">1005219</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">16193720</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBU</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Description based on print version record; resource not viewed. Traders and artisans in global economic thinking -- Urban planning and economic informality in Nairobi -- Urban theory and the 'African metropolis' -- The Indigenisation of Nairobi -- The 'African metropolis' in Nairobi -- The utu-ubuntu business model -- Utu-ubuntu nests, bonds and associations -- Towards the formation of autonomous communities -- Cultural villages. The persistence of Indigenous African markets in the context of a hostile or neglectful business and policy environment makes them worthy of analysis. An investigation of Afrocentric business ethics is long overdue. Attempting to understand the actions and efforts of informal traders and artisans from their own points of view, and analysing how they organise and get by, allows for viable approaches to be identified to integrate them into global urban models and cultures. Using the utu-ubuntu model to understand the activities of traders and artisans in Nairobi's markets, this book explores how, despite being consistently excluded and disadvantaged, they shape urban spaces in and around the city, and contribute to its development as a whole. With immense resilience, and without discarding their own socio-cultural or economic values, informal traders and artisans have created a territorial complex that can be described as the African metropolis. African Markets and the Utu-buntu Business Model sheds light on the ethics and values that underpin the work of traders and artisans in Nairobi, as well as their resilience and positive impact on urbanisation.
