STREET OCCUPATIONS: URBAN VENDING IN RIO DE JANEIRO, 1850–1925

Book ID/图书代码： 13590017C00037

English Summary/英文概要： Street vending has supplied the inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro with basic goods for several centuries. Once the province of African slaves and free blacks, street commerce became a site of expanded (mostly European) immigrant participation and shifting state regulations during the transition from enslaved to free labor and into the early post-abolition period. Street Occupations investigates how street vendors and state authorities negotiated this transition, during which vendors sought greater freedom to engage in commerce and authorities imposed new regulations in the name of modernity and progress.

Examining ganhador (street worker) licenses, newspaper reports, and detention and court records, and considering the emergence of a protective association for vendors, Patricia Acerbi reveals that street sellers were not marginal urban dwellers in Rio but active participants in a debate over citizenship. In their struggles to sell freely throughout the Brazilian capital, vendors asserted their citizenship as urban participants with rights to the city and to the freedom of commerce. In tracing how vendors resisted efforts to police and repress their activities, Acerbi demonstrates the persistence of street commerce and vendors’ tireless activity in the city, which the law eventually accommodated through municipal street commerce regulation passed in 1924.

A focused history of a crucial era of transition in Brazil, Street Occupations offers important new perspectives on patron-client relations, slavery and abolition, policing, the use of public space, the practice of free labor, the meaning of citizenship, and the formality and informality of work.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 几个世纪以来，街头贩卖给里约热内卢的居民提供了基本的商品。曾经是非洲奴隶和自由黑人的地方，街头贸易成为了一个扩大(主要是欧洲)移民参与的场所，并在从奴役到自由劳工的转变过程中转变了国家法规，并进入了废除奴隶制的早期阶段。街头职业调查了街头小贩和政府当局如何协商这一转变，在此期间，供应商寻求更大的自由参与商业活动，当局以现代化和进步的名义实施新的规定。

在检查甘达或(街头工人)执照、报纸报道、拘留和法庭记录的情况下，考虑到供应商的保护协会的出现，帕特丽夏•阿切尔比发现，街头小贩并不是里约的边缘城市居民，而是在公民身份辩论中活跃的参与者。在他们努力在巴西首都自由销售的过程中，商贩们宣称他们的公民身份是城市参与者，享有城市的权利和商业自由。在追踪供应商如何抵制警方和压制他们的活动的过程中，阿切尔比展示了街头商业和小贩们在城市的不懈努力，这一法律最终通过了1924年通过的城市街道商业法规。

在巴西，这是一个重要的转折时期，街头职业提供了重要的新视角，关于庇护关系，奴隶制和废除，警察，公共空间的使用，自由劳动的实践，公民的意义，以及工作的形式和非正式性。(WYL)
