Paperback. Condition: New. Street food vendors are both a symbol and a scourge of Mumbai: cheap roadside snacks are enjoyed by all, but the people who make them dance on a razor's edge of legality. While neighborhood associations want the vendors off cluttered sidewalks, many Mumbaikers appreciate the convenient bargains they offer. In The Slow Boil, Jonathan Shapiro Anjaria draws on his long-term fieldwork with these vendors to make sense of the paradoxes within the city and, thus, to create a better understanding of urban space in general. Much urban studies literature paints street vendors either as oppressed and marginalized victims or as inventive premoderns. In contrast, Anjaria acknowledges that diverse political, economic, historic, and symbolic processes create contradictions in the vendors' everday lives, like their illegality and proximity to the state, and their insecurity and permanence. Mumbai's disorderly sidewalks reflect the simmering tensions over livelihood, democracy, and rights that are central to the city but have long been overlooked. In The Slow Boil, these issues are not subsumed into a larger framework, but are explored on their own terms.…

References. Index. Reading India Now is an effort to outline what literary criticism might look like when it becomes attuned to the everyday lives that people live in India outside the shadow of history. Do the routines of a place simply constitute the backdrop against which important historical events play out, or might they also be important on their own terms? Why is the unspectacular, every day present so often overlooked as a significant realm of experience for the study of India? Is this an issue particular to places like India? This book foregrounds a time that is everywhere but virtually invisible-a time that is the Indian contemporary. Reading for the contemporary begins by recognizing the political and cultural contradictions of contemporary India: increasing communalization, wealth inequality, and consumerism but also new alternative cultures, queer spaces, publishing venues, readerships and future imaginaries. These contradictions are productive of the present. The contemporary offers us new and at times problematic formations; it is where the high and low meet, where conventional generic and formal categories break down, and where the sanctified literary dissolves. …
