In South Asian urban landscapes, men are everywhere. And yet we do
not seem to know very much about precisely what men do in the city
as men. How do men experience gender in city spaces? What are the
interactional dynamics between different groups of men on city
streets? How do men adjudicate between good and bad conduct in
urban spaces? Through ethnographic descriptions of copresence on
public transport in Kolkata, India, this book brings into sight the
gendered logics of cooperation and everyday morality through which
masculinities take up space in cities. It follows the labor
geographies of auto-rickshaw and taxi operators and their
interactions with traffic police and commuters to argue that the
gendered fabric of urban life needs to be understood as a product
of situational forms of cooperation between different social
groups. Such an orientation sheds light on the part played by
everyday morality and provisional support in upholding male
privilege in the city.
