Book Description:

It is the story of India's urban transformation, examining how the post-liberalisation urban project has been shaped through subaltern histories, logics and subjects. The subaltern frontiers play a role in transferring commonly-owned agricultural land into legible property, and shaping cheap, exploitable migrant labour that the city depends on.
