SUMMARY:ACC Brown Bag: Taken for a Ride by Matteo Rizzo
DESCRIPTION:Join ACC on Tuesday\, 17 April at 13:00 in Studio 3 in the Environmental and Geographical Sciences Building on Upper Campus for the second talk in a series of Brown-bag seminars. Matteo Rizzo will be discussing themes emerging from his latest book Taken for a Ride: Grounding Neoliberalism\, Precarious Labour\, and Public Transport in an African Metropolis.  \nHow does public transport work in an African city under neoliberalism? Who has the power to influence its changing shape over time? What does it mean to be a precarious and informal worker in the private minibuses that provide such transport in Dar es Salaam? These are some of the main questions that inform Rizzo’s in-depth case study of Dar es Salaam’s public transport system over more than forty years. \nAccording to the author Taken for a Ride “is an interdisciplinary political economy of public transport\, exposing the limitations of market fundamentalist and postcolonial approaches to the study of economic informality\, the urban experience in developing countries\, and their failure to locate the agency of the urban poor within their economic and political structures. It is both a contribution to and a call for the contextualized study of neoliberalism.” \nMatteo Rizzo is a Senior Lecturer in Development Studies at SOAS\, University of London. Matteo has degrees in Political Sciences from “Orientale”(Naples\, Italy)  and Development Studies and History from SOAS (MSc and PhD)\, where he also completed an ESRC postdoctoral fellowship. Matteo has taught at the LSE\, at the African Studies Centre in Oxford and in Cambridge\, where he was a Smuts Research Fellow in African Studies at the Centre of African Studies. Matteo is a member of the Editorial Working Group of the Review of African Political Economy\nand works on public transport for the International Transport Workers Federation. \nTaken for a Ride will be available for purchase at the Brown-bag session for a special price at only R250. Please bring along cash if you wish to purchase the book. \n
