A book launch for 'Logics of Dispossession: Governing By Eviction in Indian Cities'. Author Dr. Liza Weinstein (Northeastern) speaks with discussants Professor Claire Colomb (Cambridge University) and Dr Paolo Novak (SOAS), chaired by Dr Sarah El-Kazaz. The book traces the Indian government's power to evict from colonial times to today, arguing evictions are a historically entrenched tool of city governance in Indian cities aspiring to be world-class.
