This book presents urban transition experiences over nearly three
decades in Bangalore based on the narratives of the city's
street-based sex workers. Sex workers - female, male, and
transgender - have been omnipresent in Bangalore's streets for
decades. However, despite being blacklisted as 'undesirable' and
hazards to the 'ideal public', they have their own unique
imaginaries and narratives of the city and its mutations. In
mapping out their spatial and social ecosystems and experiences
with technology, this book redraws, rewrites, and relooks at a city
and its transformations from their perspectives. The analysis of
their experience is anchored to concepts around neoliberal
urbanism, gender, labour informality, and the politics of
technology. The authors take an unconventional journey through
their spaces, comrades, and battles to announce and affirm their
individuality and agency through their empowerment strategies, and
through their struggles to reclaim their spaces and assert their
identities as informal workers and legitimate citizens of the city.
