520 "The Power of Place Riots, strikes, and protests broke out
in the streets of Shanghai and Bombay, renamed Mumbai in
1995, with impressive frequency during the twentieth
century. Many of the landmark protests and social
movements had close connections with the neighborhoods,
workplaces, and civic space of each city. By the late
twentieth century, as the political geography of each city
changed rapidly with the commodification of urban land, so
too did the patterns of political contention. Using a
comparative historical lens, Frazier chronicles the
political biographies of these two metropolises and
leading centers of manufacturing and finance. Debates over
ideology, citizenship, and political representation took
material form through clashes over housing, jobs, police
violence, public space, among much else in the lived
experience of urban residents. Frazier puts contemporary
debates over informal housing, eviction of inner-city
residents, scarcities of manufacturing jobs, and questions
of unequal citizenship in illuminating historical context"
