In urban and peri-urban areas across the Global South, politicians,
planners and developers are engaged in a voracious scramble to
refashion land for global real estate investment, and transfer
state power to private sector actors. Much of this development has
taken place on the outskirts of the traditional metropoles, in the
territorially flexible urban frontier. At the forefront of these
processes in India, is Gurgaon, a privately developed metropolis on
the south-western hinterlands of New Delhi, that has long been
touted as India's flagship neoliberal city. Subaltern Frontiers
tells a story of India's remarkable urban transformation by
examining the politics of land and labour that have shaped the city
of Gurgaon. The book examines how the country's flagship
post-liberalisation urban project has been shaped and filtered
through agrarian and subaltern histories, logics, and subjects. In
doing so, the book explores how the production of globalised
property and labour in contemporary urban India is filtered through
colonial instruments of land governance, living histories of uneven
agrarian development, material geographies of labour migration, and
the worldly aspirations of peasant-agriculturalists.
