Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Mercy Corps, an international NGO based in Portland, Oregon (www.mercycorps.org) is proud to introduce Nineteen: The Lives of Jakarta's Street Vendors. This 200-page, hard-bound, pictorial book chronicles the lives of nineteen Indonesian street vendors. Each vignette is a personal narrative touching on not only the economic aspects of a developing nation, but also providing the reader with an insight into the timeless issues of family, culture, history, migration, politics and human rights to create an intimate portrait of this essential component of life in Jakarta.

In addition to these personal narratives, Nineteen features high quality, professional photography which brings the vendor's tales to life and connects the reader to their powerful stories.
