Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By zooming in on urban localities in India and by unpacking the 'meaning of the local' for those who live in them, the ten papers in this volume redress a recurrent asymmetry in contemporary debates about globalisation. In much literature, the global is associated with transnationalism, dynamism and activity, and the local with static identities and history. Focusing on a range of locales in India's metropolitan areas and provincial small towns, the contributions move beyond the assertion that space is socially constructed to explore the ways in which social and political relations are themselves spatially and historically contingent. Using detailed ethnography, the authors highlight the vitality of place-making in the lives of urban dwellers and the centrality of a 'politics of place' in the production of power, difference and inequality. The volume illustrates how urban spaces are increasingly interconnected through wider social and spatial processes, while local boundaries and group-based identities are at the same time reconstructed, and often even consolidated, through the use of 'traditional' idioms and localised practices. All contributions relate detailed case studies of everyday activities to a range of contemporary debates that highlight various spatial aspects of cultural identities, economic restructuring and political processes in India. The volume provides an interdisciplinary perspective on urban life in rapidly changing political and economic environments. It offers a contribution to policy-orientated debates on urban livelihoods and urban planning as well as a wealth of ethnographic material for those interested in the spatial dimensions of urban life in India.

Book excerpt: This book presents the findings of an empirical study of the implementation of women s reservations in four Indian mega-cities: Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. It offers a detailed and lively account of what it means to be a woman Councillor in an Indian mega-city today, and a critical view of the functioning of Municipal Corporations, with specific emphasis on women s roles and opportunities to participate and perform in their new environment. By choosing to consider the decentralization policy in general and women s reservations in particular as an experiment in democratization, the authors provide useful and useable insights into a range of issues at stake.To what extent, in what ways and under which conditions can increased political representation of women at the local level empower women?Is the functioning of urban local bodies truly participatory and inclusive?What are the (other) reforms needed to make women elected to urban local bodies more effective agents of urban development?Archana Ghosh, an economist, is Senior Faculty and Head of the Urban Studies Department in the Institute of Social Sciences, New Delhi, and is based in its Eastern Regional Centre at Kolkata.Stéphanie Tawa Lama Rewal, a political scientist, is a research fellow at the Centre for the Study of India and South Asia (CNRS EHESS), Paris, and a visiting scholar at the Centre de Sciences Humaines, New Delhi.
