Description

Urban Renewal in India : Accommodating People, Ideas and Lifeworlds in Mumbai's Redeveloping Chawls, Hardcover by Holwitt, Pablo, ISBN 0367345935, ISBN-13 9780367345938, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This book interrogates contemporary processes of neoliberal urban renewal in the Global South by studying the model of chawl-redevelopment in Mumbai, India. The model of chawl-redevelopment is used to address questions surrounding contemporary urban renewal. Focusing on attempts to redevelop Mumbais central middle-class neighbourhoods, popularly known as Girgaum, into a modern downtown of a global metropolis, the author sheds light on the impact this development model has on the everyday lives of people inhabiting transformed urban environments. He examines, from an ethnographic perspective, apparently contradictory intentions of planners, investors, residents, activists and politicians. Combination of detailed and vivid ethnographic accounts with incisive theoretical arguments, th shows that the highly contested and controversial approach of chawl-redevelopment serves as an example of the manifold ideological tendencies in India today, and how they combine, clash and continuously shape each other in surprising and unpredictable ways. Offering new insights in the topics of class dynamics in the era of globalisation and neoliberalism, urban gating, sense studies, and urban politics in South Asia, this book will be of interest to academics working onSouth Asian Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, as well as Urban and Global Studies--

  2. As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!
