I had given him a stack of materials, and had only meant to suggest to you a handful of things that have been particularly useful in framing the issues I seek to address in my chapter. Those are: Mark Harrison, "The Foundations of Public Health in India: Crisis and Constraint", chapter 3 of Public Health in British India: Anglo-Indian Preventive Medicine 1859-1914, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994. http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar/urban-media/elbev/harrison_public_health.pdf Di Wang, "Street Control", chapter 5 of Street Culture in Chengdu: Public Space, Urban Commoners and Local Politics, 1870-1930, Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2003. http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar/urban-media/elbev/di_wang_street_culture.pdf Paul Rabinow, "Techno-Cosmpolitanism: Governing Morocco", chapter 9 of French Modern: Norms and Forms of the Social Environment, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1989. http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar/urban-media/elbev/rabinow_norms_forms.pdf John E. Brush, "The Morphology of Indian Cities" in Roy Turner, ed., India's Urban Future: Selected Studies from an International Conference sponsored by Kingsley Davis, Richard L. Park, and Catherine Bauer Wurster, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1962. http://www.mit.edu/~shekhar/urban-media/elbev/brush_morphology.pdf The other items (Bogle/Mukerjee, ?elik and Ellefson) are worth looking at if people have time, but the above four selections are thematically key. As noted, I will send along a draft of my dissertation chapter early next week. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday, and I look forward to seeing many of you soon. Eric
