Neighbourhoods in Urban India: In Between Home and the City offers an understanding of neighborhoods as changing sociospatial units in their specific regional settings by underlining the way value regimes (religiosity and subjectivities) give neighborhoods their social meanings and stereotypes. It unpacks discourses and knowledge practices, such as planning, architecture and urban discourses of governance. It further discloses the linkages and disjunctures between the social practices of neighborhoods and the language, logic and experiences of dwelling, housing, urban planning and governance and focuses on the particularities and heterogeneities of neighborhoods and neighborliness.
Part I: Spatial religiosity and the making of neighbourhoods -- Part II: Dalit neighbourhoods: histories, subjectivities and contestation -- Part III: Engendering neighbourhood: female neighbours and contested subjectivities -- Part IV: A house in a neighbourhood: planning, history and aspirations of housing.
