This book brings anthropologists and critical theorists together in
order to investigate utopian visions of the future in the
neoliberal cities of India and Sri Lanka. Arguing for the priority
of materiality in any analysis of contemporary ideology, the
authors explore urban construction projects, special economic
zones, fashion ramps, films, archaeological excavations, and
various queer spaces. In the process, they reveal how diverse
co-existing utopian visions are entangled with local politics and
global capital, and show how these utopian visions are at once
driven by visions of excess and by increasing expulsions. It's a
dystopia already in the making - one marred by land grabs and
forced evictions, rising inequality, and the loss of urbanity and
civility.
