| Nina Martin | “Food Fight! Immigrant Street Vendors, Gourmet Food Trucks, and the Differential Valuation of Creative Producers in Chicago” | International Journal of Urban & Regional Research | 2014 | 38 (5) | 1867-1883 | This is an interesting research article that examines social inequality in the "creative city" by comparing the experiences of (Mexican) immigrant street vendors in Chicago -- whose work has long been criminalized -- with the rapid growth and quick acceptance of food truck entrepreneurs. On the one hand, the immigrant street vendors are seen as threat to the "global city" status of Chicago because they're selling Mexican foods to low-income immigrants. On the other hand, the food truck vendors are prized because they are (creatively) producing foods that are attractive to mostly white and relatively wealthy young professionals. | |
