| Notes | This edition previously issued in print: 2016. |
| Summary | This study on colonial Calcutta charts the history of its urbanization from below in its streets, strikes and popular urban cultures. It offers a close up view of the city's underbelly by drawing on a range of non-archival sources, from illustrations and amateur photographs to street songs, local histories and memoirs which show how Calcutta was not just a problem to be disciplined and governed as the colonialists would have us believe. Instead, it emerges as a remarkably lively and crucial site for the shaping of a discourse of rights and claims to the city by various marginal urban groups. |
| Subject | Calcutta (India) History 19th century. Calcutta (India) History 20th century. Calcutta (India) Social conditions. Calcutta (India) Politics and government. |
