Reviews
"By means of the book's rich ethnographic accounts, Doherty. . . .makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the work that underlies the infrastructures that are so vital to contemporary societies." * Exertions *
"An expansive rendering of urban sanitation policies and problems in Kampala. . . . would certainly work well in an undergraduate course." * American Anthropologist *
"Evocative with a skilful poetic style. . . . Waste Worlds offers a way to think about waste that humanises waste workers and renders the complicated experience of waste for non-elite urban residents." * LSE Review of Books *
