Narotzky & Besnier (2014): In times of
crisis, people operate with coping strategies that enable them
to locate increasingly elusive resources. These strategies may
include relations of trust and care, economies of affect, networks
of reciprocity encompassing both tangible and intangible
resources, and material and emotional transfers that are
supported by moral obligations. Many consist of unregulated
activities or activities that cannot be regulated (Hart 1973;
Humphrey 2002; Lomnitz 1975; Procoli 2004; Smart and
Smart 1993; Stack 1974). But these strategies can also have
the effect of defining and marginalizing categories of people
(e.g., on grounds of ethnicity, gender, or race) whose access
to resources will be violently curtailed (Li 2001; Sider 1996;
Smith 2011).
