<div>In <i>Reclaiming the Discarded</i> Kathleen Millar offers a comprehensive ethnography of Jardim Gramacho, a sprawling garbage dump on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where self-employed workers, known as <i>catadores</i>, collect recyclable materials and ultimately generate new modes of living within the precarious conditions of urban poverty.</div>
