• PrefaceIntroductionChapter 1: Neoliberal Subjectivity and the Alterity ParadigmChapter 2: The Neoliberal ScriptChapter 3: The Maturing Entrepreneur of Popular Indian FictionChapter 4: Undercity Fiction and the Crisis of UrbanizationChapter 5: Fixity Amid Flux: Literary Fiction and Rural DispossessionChapter 6: Contesting the Script

‘In this important book, Jaising elegantly unravels an alterity paradigm, long undergirding the idea that Global South cultures are radically other to their Northern counterparts. Through nuanced close-readings across a variety of genres, she exposes instead, significant continuities in the “structures of feeling” produced by neoliberal textualities spanning North-South divides.’ Manisha Basu, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
