This book, based on extensive, original research, details the
changing lives of youth living in slum communities (bustees) in
Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). Using young people's own photos, art
and narratives, the book explores how Muslim girls and young women
are contributing to, and impacted by, changing youth culture in
India. We are invited into the risky world of mixed-sex dance
taking place in clandestine spaces in the slums. We join young
people on their journeys to find premarital romance and witness
their strategic and savvy risk taking when participating in
transgressive aspects of consumer culture. The book reveals how
social changes in India, including greater education and employment
opportunities, as well as powerful middle class Muslim reform
discourses, are impacting youth the very local level. More than
just fantasy we see that Bollywood is an important role model which
young people consult. By carefully negotiating risks and performing
multiple identities inspired by modernity, globalization and, most
of all, Bollywood culture, young people actively participate in a
changing India and disrupt dominant discourses about slum youth as
poor victims who are excluded from social change.
