Dear All:

Based on feedback, we have postponed our next meeting to WEDNESDAY 2
APRIL 2008 from 6.30 to 8.30 p.m. in MIT E51-195 to discuss Sandip
Hazareesingh's The Colonial City and the Challenge of Modernity: Urban
Hegemonies and Civic Contestations in Bombay City 1900-1925. 

See this post for links to the full text of the book and supplementary
texts which are all digitized for your convenience:

Along with the book, there is a recent piece by Preeti Chopra on
Memonwada, and two earlier articles by Hazareesingh which became
chapters of the book, and are included here for reference. Remember, for
accessing restricted PDFs, the username is "bombayologist" and password
is "urbanmedia". 

Please RSVP to me by e-mail if you are coming so I can order food
accordingly. Also please see the updated schedule of spring sessions at:
