Riots, strikes, and protests broke out in the streets of Shanghai
and Bombay (renamed Mumbai in 1995), with impressive frequency
during the twentieth century. Many of the landmark protests and
social movements had close connections with the neighborhoods,
workplaces, and civic space of each city. By the late twentieth
century, as the political geography of each city changed rapidly
with the commodification of urban land, so too did the patterns of
political contention. Using a comparative historical lens, Frazier
chronicles the political biographies of these two metropolises and
leading centers of manufacturing and finance. Debates over
ideology, citizenship, and political representation took material
form through clashes over housing, jobs, police violence, public
space, among much else, in the lived experience of urban residents.
Frazier puts contemporary debates over informal housing, eviction
of inner-city residents, scarcities of manufacturing jobs, and
questions of unequal citizenship in an illuminating historical
context.
