- The book consolidates a long-term individual research project, concerned with the trade of counterfeit goods from China to Brazil via Paraguay. The author lived in these three countries to conduct ethnographic research; an immersive process over 9 years (1999-2008), involving three languages and difficult field access negotiations across international borders. These “multiple ethnographies” generated an innovative methodology combining transnational analyses with in-loco and in-depth immersion. The research produced a large body of primary data concerned with the establishment of (in)formal transnational trade networks and the trade of counterfeit and cheap Chinese products - and their subsequent collapse.
