Reviews
Forcing the reader to be active and participate in convoluted fact finding and efforts to make sense of the situation, Björkman's point is that one is more true to the messy nature of "urban development" if self-reflexive ethnographic representations are soaked in the minutiae of living with, without, and against infrastructures and infrastructural violence., Waiting Town can be read not just as a book about Mumbai but also as an entry point to a more general understanding of how large-scale urban projects affect the urban poor., Compelling and intricate. . . Bjorkman, through a masterful narrative, has depicted an ephemeral space with itinerant beings as a concrete part of global urban development discourse by weaving together over a decade of engagement with this particular settlement. Through a detailed ethnographic account, she encourages readers to complicate the conceits of dominant developmentalist narratives. . . With its innovative writing and presentation of research, this little book has achieved the prodigious task of explicating the multiplicity of actors and processes required to produce space in Mumbai. Consciously avoiding theoretical generalisations and abstractions, the book invites readers, much like the residents of Pratiksha Nagar, to experience the city-making process as one of waiting and unknowability., For my anxious, over-stressed students whose educational experiences have taught them to focus on product, not process, the book produced the epiphany that 'ethnography isn't a linear path . . . Bjorkman herself was confused, and Waiting Town showed me that being confused is okay'. What a powerful lesson., An immersive reading that details everyday politics of claimmaking through years of ethnographic enquiry

Synopsis
Drawing on a decade of ethnographic research in the Indian city of Mumbai, Waiting Town is an unconventional little book - experimental in form - about how we come to know the worlds about which we write. The narrative follows the author's fieldnotes diaries as they wend their way through a series of ethnographic puzzles that emerge in the wake of a high-profile mega-infrastructure project that became an internationally celebrated prototype and model. Waiting Town complicates this celebratory narrative by revealing the conflicting temporalities and procedural pretentions of 'world class' developmentalism. On one level, Waiting Town is a book about Mumbai - about housing schemes and scams, about 'duplicate' documents (and 'duplicate duplicates'), and about the material wreckage wrought by the city's 'world-class' ambitions. And at the same time, it has a larger story to tell about truth and falsehood, time and memory - and about the promises and pitfalls of knowledge production, interpretation and representation more generally., 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.
