It tells us about diversities of agrarian change; it explores relatively less known geographies of gender! caste! poverty! urban spaces and emerging inequalities.' - Surinder S. Jodhka! Jawaharlal Nehru University! India 'What this collection of essays achieves is nothing short of an intellectual coup. It corrals the agrarian and the urban into the region and breathes life into that historical-geographical theatre of accumulation which hitherto has been obscured by market fundamentalism.' - Anant Maringanti!
