Synopsis

India's capitalist transformation has been spatially uneven. Combining several analytical approaches, the contributors identify socio-spatial regularities some contiguous with state boundaries, some transcending states and some contained within them - while providing evidence about the spatial unevenness of India's capitalist development.

Review:

'A refreshing and original contribution to the literature on contemporary India. As promised, it explores the spatial dimensions of capital accumulation. But it does much more. It tells us about diversities of agrarian change; it explores relatively less known geographies of gender, caste, poverty, urban spaces and emerging inequalities.'

- Surinder S. Jodhka, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India

'What this collection of essays achieves is nothing short of an intellectual coup. It corrals the agrarian and the urban into the region and breathes life into that historical-geographical theatre of accumulation which hitherto has been obscured by market fundamentalism.'

- Anant Maringanti, Hyderabad Urban Lab, India

'A stimulating, innovative and fresh insight into the structural and spatial arrangements of capitalism.'

- Aseem Prakash, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Hyderabad, India
