It does so in the hope of enriching our\u003cbr\u003eunderstanding of incremental modes of political empowerment and\u003cbr\u003ethe futures they make. The intention is to not just communicate the\u003cbr\u003etransformations at work in creating a particular \"kind of urban,\" but\u003cbr\u003ealso to point to connections that make us rethink the ways in which\u003cbr\u003echange happens. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is a contribution to work being done on urban theory-\u003cbr\u003ebuilding from elsewhere than the Global North, specifically from\u003cbr\u003eAsia, and periurban Gangetic West Bengal\/Kolkata. It is not simply\u003cbr\u003ea look at a novel and singular condition in and of itself but uses that\u003cbr\u003esingularity to better understand periurbanism generally and urban\u003cbr\u003epolitical ecologies particularly. Current scholarship in urban political\u003cbr\u003eecology reminds us of some of the enduring tensions around the conceptualizations of region, socio-natures and agency, and\u003cbr\u003epractice. The urban political ecology approach in this book offers a\u003cbr\u003eway of moving past some of these tensions. \u003cbr\u003e\t\t\t\t\t\u003cbr\u003e\t\t\t\t\u003cbr\u003e\t\t\t\u003cbr\u003e\t\t\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.4 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 20, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763378848032,"sku":"9781957183787","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6e022a06d9fd37c1f08b4a7b706c750a.webp?v=1780233805","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/periurban-cartographies-kolkatas-ecologies-and-settled-ruralities-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
