Eating from One Pot: The Dynamics of Survival in Poor South African Households

by Sarah Mosoetsa

Sarah Mosoetsa investigates the fall out of plant closures in the garment and footwear industries of Durban … She entered the hidden abode of household production to discover a very different world from the one painted by the merchants of social capital and livelihood strategies. Rather than the romance of poor people struggling together to survive, she found a fractious and often violent world.
