This book focuses on spatial concerns and urban imaginaries in his works, challenging the dominant metropolitan discourse on cities under globalization. \u003cbr\u003eRushdie’s works prominently feature cities of the Global South while they explores in great detail the figure of the postcolonial migrant. This book analyses the dynamic cities described in \u003ci\u003eMidnight’s Children\u003c\/i\u003e (1981), \u003ci\u003eThe Satanic Verses\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), \u003ci\u003eThe Moor’s Last Sigh\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and \u003ci\u003eThe Ground Beneath Her Feet\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and discusses the idea of the global-urban. It examines how these works explore alternative geo-histories, the idea of global homes, and the idea of cities as sites of conflict and contestation, where histories and memories are embedded and reimagined.\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be useful for scholars and researchers of literature, urban studies, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, sociology, Indian English, and South Asian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56906806133110,"sku":"9780367617189","price":48.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39229219.jpg?v=1767083203","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780367617189-global-urban-spaces","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
