Time, Space and Capital in IndiaLonging and Belonging in an Urban-Industrial Hinterland\nAuthor(s): Atreyee Majumder\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138334472, 978-1138334472\nSynopsis\nAt this western corner of the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and the busy river Hooghly, West Bengal in eastern India lies a geography that has hosted many outsiders traders, merchants, colonial masters, missionaries and wanderers. \n\nThis book is fundamentally concerned with the relations among the theoretical categories of time, space and capital in India and shows registers of temporality and spatiality generated by historical phases of interaction with industrial capital. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Howrah, the author examines the form of urbanism that is not linked to the city-form of spatial organization, a \""hinterland urbanism\"". The book brings out the theoretical implications by showing the relations.
