Bøker av Lisa Bjorkman

Drawing on a decade of ethnographic research in the Indian city of Mumbai, Waiting Town is a formally experimental book about how we come to know the worlds about which we write. The narrative follows the author's fieldnotes through a series of ethnographic puzzles that emerge in the wake of a high-profile mega-infrastructure project.

In Pipe Politics, Contested Waters, Lisa Bjoerkman explores why water is chronically unavailable in Mumbai, India's economic and financial capital. She attributes water shortage to economic reforms that allowed urban development to ignore the water infrastructure, which means that in Mumbai, politics is often about water.
