This minor dissertation investigates the lives and businesses of informal artists and vendors in Maputo, Mozambique. The research points to a swell in numbers of artisans in Maputo over the past dozen years. Tourism has developed in Mozambique; expanding the clientele for Maputo's informal artisans. The increase of artisans has had a few negative effects including a drop in prices due to competition and a compromise in artistic quality. The seven interviewees explain the reality of the informal art business as one of subsistence. 2014-10-06T11:20:31Z 2014-10-06T11:20:31Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8113 eng application/pdf Department of Sociology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
