Making the Modern Slum : The Power of Capital in Colonial Bombay, Hardcover by Chhabria, Sheetal, ISBN 0295746289, ISBN-13 9780295746289, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Locating the origins of Bombay's now infamous slum problem within the broader histories of colonialism and capitalism, Chhabria provides a new analytical approach to urban history that challenges assumptions about colonial urbanization and cities in the Global South. She shows how the well-being of the city-rather than of its people-became an increasingly urgent goal of government, one that positioned agrarian distress, famished migrants, and the laboring poor as threats to be contained or excluded.
