[Reader-list] [Announcements] CORRECTION: The Urban Turn

[PUKAR @ The Paperie]

Dear Friends:

(The last e-mail incorrectly contained the wrong date for the event. 
It is Saturday 21 December, not November. Our apologies for the 
confusion!)

PUKAR cordially invites its Associates, Advisors, and friends to a 
panel discussion on "The Urban Turn". Three distinguished 
sociologists and historians will speak about Bombay/Mumbai, and the 
increasing importance of urban studies to understandings of the 
history and culture of modernity. The programme includes short talks 
by:

JAIRUS BANAJI worked with the unions in Bombay through the eighties, 
when he published Beyond Multinationalism: Management Policy and 
Bargaining Relationships in International Companies (Delhi: Sage, 
1990). His most recent book is Agrarian Change in Late Antiquity: 
Gold, Labour, and Aristocratic Dominance (Oxford, 2002).

SUJATA PATEL is Professor and Head of the Department of Sociology at 
University of Pune. She is the co-editor, with Alice Thorner, of 
Bombay: Metaphor for Modern Culture and Bombay: Mosaic of Modern 
India (both Delhi: Oxford India, 1995), of which the next volume, 
co-edited with Jim Masselos, is currently in press. She is an Advisor 
to PUKAR.

GYAN PRAKASH is Professor of History at Princeton University, U.S.A. 
and a member of the Subaltern Studies Editorial Collective. He is the 
author of Bonded Histories: Genealogies of Labour Servitude in 
Colonial India (Cambridge, 1990), Another Reason: Science and the 
Imagination of Modern India (Princeton, 1999), as well as several 
articles on colonialism and historiography, and has edited several 
volumes on colonial history.

(RAJ CHANDAVARKAR, Professor of History, Cambridge University, U.K.
