{"product_id":"9781041180883","title":"Highways and Hierarchies : Ethnographies of Mobility from the Himalaya to the Indian Ocean by Luke Heslop","description":"Highways and Hierarchies: Ethnographies of Mobility from the Himalaya to the Indian Ocean explores the contemporary proliferation of roads in South Asia and the Tibet-Himalaya region, showing how new infrastructures simultaneously create fresh connections and reinforce existing inequalities. Bringing together ethnographic studies on the social politics of road development and new mobilities in twenty-first-century Asia, this edited collection demonstrates that while new roads generate new forms of hierarchy, older forms of hierarchy are remade and re-established in creative and surprising new ways. Focused on South Asia but speaking to more global phenomena, the chapters collectively reveal how road planning, construction and usage routinely yield a simultaneous reinforcement and disruption of social, political and economic relations.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368594551157,"sku":"9781041180883","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781041180883","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
