Theory of Settlements: History and Evolution of Selected Cities
The book puts together the stories that the author and her students brought back from their visits to different settlements. The chapters include the interesting and unique narratives that were special to these settlements, whether it was Kingkini’s story about Kumortuli, a settlement where the Durga idols are made and transported across India, their lives, the cramped dwelling units, the workspaces where great craftsmanship exists, or the Hindu settlement in Kabul, story brought in by a resident of Kabul. About the patterns of a small community within the larger patterns that are different. The book would be a useful resource for the study of settlements and would be of interest to students and the fraternity at large.
