Book Synopsis Inhabiting 'Childhood': Children, Labour and Schooling in Postcolonial India by : S. Balagopalan
Book excerpt: Through a rich ethnography of street and working children in Calcutta, India, this book offers the first sustained enquiry into postcolonial childhoods, arguing that the lingering effects of colonialism are central to comprehending why these children struggle to inhabit the transition from labour to schooling.
