How are poor migrants from the countryside incorporated into city politics? We draw on years of fieldwork in urban north India to argue against conventional portrayals of migrant settlements as politically subdued, bought-off, or polarized by local dons and political ‘machines.’

#RPVBooks I had read some of @adam_m_auerbach ’s work before and I sort of knew that his book would be amazing and it did not disappoint. As a scholar of urban governance and public services provision, Auerbach’s book hits all the sweet spots: informality, comparative politics.

My article on caste and segregation in urban India is out in @ERSjournal . Thinking through a framework of global racial capitalism, I argue that racialized and casteized labor & property regimes are essential to mapping urban environmental unfreedoms.

Short piece for @Ideas4India : I argue that male migration is leading to *feminization* of local political engagement in migrant sending areas like rural Bihar. Presence of women in male political arenas like block offices (in pic) is shifting the contours of engagement w/state.

Important piece by @KhariBiskut @MilanV @_JonathanKay Devesh Kapur on discrimination against Indian Americans, now and in the past. For me, it contextualizes stories from my Gujarati-American father-in-law, who was harassed by the “Dotbusters” in 1980s NJ.
