Riya Raphael’s thesis, 'Circles of Value: A Study of Working Lives of Informal Sector Traders in Delhi, India', explores the lives of pheriwale women, a group of self-employed traders in Delhi. The thesis is a significant feminist and postcolonial contribution to a sophistication and re-definition of the concept of value. It is an original contribution to the efforts within social theory to rethink labour in terms of the value and the dignity of work.
