Описание: Going beyond electoral politics and government, this volume broadens the scope of the functioning of democracy in India, and explores citizens` role in the implementation of public policy. It looks at the ways in which extra-parliamentary power monitoring devices and the mainstream and emerging forms of the media, permeate through the political order.
Описание: This book on colonial Calcutta charts the history of its urbanization from below in its streets, strikes and popular urban cultures. Claiming the City offers a close up view of the citys underbelly by drawing in a range of non-archival sources, from illustrations and amateur photographs to street songs, local histories and memoirs which show how Calcutta was not just a problem to be disciplined and governed as the colonialists would have us believe. Instead, itemerges in Ghoshs study as remarkably lively and crucial site for the shaping of a discourse of rights and claims to the city by various marginal urban groups. In doing so, the book uses the everyday as a prism for capturing the many urban political and social imaginaries that shaped the city throughscandals, crime, street songs, protest and violence.
