Criminality and Power in the Postcolonial City - Mapping the Mean Streets of Mumbai and Naples (Hardcover)

This is the first book of its kind to use criminality as the critical lens to examine postcolonial literary texts. This book pushes the spatial postcolonial field in exciting new directions and engages with diverse academic literatures rarely examined together. This book draws on an innovative comparison of two of the world's major port cities, Naples and Mumbai. This book constitutes the first attempt to analyse the effects of the underworld on the postcolonial city, exploring how criminality unveils and challenges the structural logic of capitalism and 'legalised violence'.
