All~

Greetings, I am writing to add a small annotation regarding secondary  
texts to Shekhar's email from earlier this evening.  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, Çelik 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
