About this product

Product Information

Political clientelism is a term used to characterise the contemporary relationships between political elites and the poor in Latin America in which goods and services are traded for political favours. Javier Auyero critically deploys the notion in Poor People's Politics to analyse the political practices of the Peronist Party among shantytown dwellers in contemporary Argentina. Looking closely at the slum-dwellers' informal problem-solving networks that are necessary for material survival and the different meaning of Peronism within these networks, Auyero presents the first ethnography of urban clientelism ever carried out in Argentina. Revealing a deep familiarity with the lives of the urban poor in Villa Paraiso, a stigmatised and destitute shantytown of Buenos Aires, Auyero demonstrates the ways in which local politicians present their vital favors to the poor and how the poor perceive and evaluate these favours. Having penetrated the networks, he describes how they are structured, what is traded, and the particular way in which women facilitate these transactions.Moreover, Auyero proposes that the act of granting favors or giving food in return for votes gives the politicians' acts a performative and symbolic meaning that flavours the relation between problem-solver and problem-holder, while also creating quite different versions of contemporary Peronism. Along the way, Auyero is careful to situate the emergence and consolidation of clientelism in historic, cultural, and economic contexts. Poor People's Politics re-examines the relationship between politics and the destitute in Latin America, showing how deeply embedded politics are in the lives of those who do not mobilise in the usual sense of the word but who are far from passive. It will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars of Latin American studies, sociology, anthropology, political science, history, and cultural studies.
