Description and Table of Contents
Description
1. Bombay is an old colonial and mercantile city. This book brings into conversation social scientists and critical commentators that have been researching the city for decades to produce papers that are empirically grounded and integrated with contemporary urban theory.
2. Its canvass is wide, covering economy, politics and culture and it combines a mix of methods to comprehend this dynamic - locating the contemporary history of Bombay in terms of the intersecting local, regional and national processes and analysing the impact of neoliberalism in terms of spatial geographies, wellbeing of its population and emerging cultures of urbanity.
3. Given the global interest in Bombay, this book will be of interest to departments of economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, urban studies across the UK and USA.
