Ghazala Jamil

Accumulation by Segregation

Muslim Localities in Delhi

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on ethnographical study of Muslim neighbourhoods, the book argues that it is not merely communal discrimination and prejudice that causes formation of segregated Muslim enclaves. Through an intricately weaved argument the book explains that rather than being excluded from the city, the Muslim areas contain a segment of immobile labour and capital that are uniquely positioned for exploitation in the globalised world. Segregated spaces provide for accumulation infavour of other spaces in the city.
