Duncan McDuie-Ra is professor of Urban Sociology at University of Newcastle, Australia. His most recent sole-authored books are Borderland City in New India (2016), Debating Race in Contemporary India (2015), and Northeast Migrants in Delhi: Race, Refuge and Retail (2012).

"McDuie-Ra’s illuminating account of the unexpected lives of northeast migrants in a metropolis compels us to rethink conventional ways of thinking about India’s changing frontier lands and peoples. This rigorously researched and superbly written book is anthropology at its best.” - Amita Baviskar, Associate Professor at the Institute of Economic Growth, Delhi University "The book is perhaps the first of its kind to apply the concept of race outside the usual typology of caste-versus-race studies. It offers a refreshing take on contemporary challenges to the idea of an "imagined" India as neoliberal capitalism transforms social spaces and relationships through migration and new forms of labor." - Babyrani Yumnam, Binghamton University, State University of New York on newbooks.asia
