Description

This ethnographic field study by Ramya Ramanath, Associate Professor at DePaul University, examines the lives of women displaced by slum clearance and relocated to Asia's largest slum resettlement site in Mumbai. Through extensive conversations with women of diverse ages, education levels, employment types, marital statuses, ethnicities, castes, religions, and household compositions, Ramanath reveals how these women negotiate their experiences and become agents of change within urban resettlement contexts. The book challenges conventional urban planning approaches that overlook the lived experiences of women from the city's poorest quarters, demonstrating how their voices and agency reshape the politics and economics of urban development. Part of the Routledge Research in Urban Politics and Policy series, this work contributes essential anthropological and sociological perspectives to understanding how marginalised women navigate displacement, rebuild communities, and influence urban policy through their resilience and activism.
