'Frazier reveals the power of a closely-studied, empirically-based and controlled comparison of two of Asia's 'maximum' cities over the last century. It makes for a fascinating read and embodies the best in the burgeoning field of Sino-Indian studies.' Prasenjit Duara, Oscar L. Tang Family Professor of East Asian Studies, Duke University, North Carolina 'This impressive book is a tour de force account of the convergences and divergences that underpin collective protest in two of the world's great megacities: Shanghai and Mumbai. The book views contentious politics in both port cities through a comparative lens that will make scholars working on either of the two cities see them in new ways.' Prashant Kidambi, Centre for Urban History, University of Leicester 'This remarkable and groundbreaking book examines contemporary Indian and Chinese urban politics and protests through a historical lens and with a focus on twentieth-century Shanghai and Bombay. It is a milestone in the comparative study of southern urbanism and politics.' Fulong Wu, Bartlett Professor of Planning, University College London '... it is worth noting that inasmuch as its empirical richness is a hallmark of Frazier's fine book, it can also present a challenge.' Prerna Singh, Comparative Politics
