Pipe Politics, Contested Waters: Embedded Infrastructures Of Millennial Mumbai,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Winner, 2014 Joseph W. Elder Prize in the Indian Social SciencesDespite Mumbai's position as India's financial, economic, and cultural capital, water is chronically unavailable for rich and poor alike. Mumbai's dry taps are puzzling, given that the city does not lack for either water or financial resources. In Pipe Politics, Contested Waters, Lisa Bjrkman shows how an elite dream to transform Mumbai into a 'world class' business center has wreaked havoc on the citys water pipes. In rich ethnographic detail, Pipe Politics explores how the everyday work of getting water animates and inhabits a penumbra of infrastructural activityof business, brokerage, secondary markets, and sociopolitical networkswhose workings are reconfiguring and rescaling political authority in the city. Mumbais increasingly illegible and volatile hydrologies, Bjrkman argues, are lending infrastructures increasing political salience just as actual control over pipes and flows becomes contingent on dispersed and intimate assemblages of knowledge, power, and material authority. These new arenas of contestation reveal the illusory and precarious nature of the project to remake Mumbai in the image of Shanghai or Singapore and gesture instead toward the highly contested futures and democratic possibilities of the actually existing city.
