South and North

This book explores urban life and realities in the cities of the global South and North. Through literature, film and other forms of media that constitute shared social imaginaries, the essays in the volume interrogate the modes of production that make up the fabric of urban spaces and the lives of their inhabitants. They also rethink practices that engender `cityness¿ in diverse but increasingly interlinked conglomerations. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of media and culture studies, city studies, development studies, global South studies, urban geography, built environment and literature.
