At once urban history, ethnography, and memoir, @aampannaa's book is an exploration of reading, public space and belonging. It also asks what a city loses when its most vibrant and democratic spaces are pushed aside.

How 19th century Goans who arrived in Zanzibar became one of East Africa’s wealthiest communities https://t.co/2MrtEZDzwv
From cooks and sailors to planters and owners of large businesses, #Goans were a prominent part of life in Zanzibar from 1865 to 1910.
@CarvalhoSel, author of Guts, Glory and Empire; The Epic Story of Goans in Zanzibar talks to me about the community's dynamism in East Africa
"The novella's fragmented structure is one of its greatest strengths. Rather than following a single linear narrative, it unfolds through stories that span generations."
Lovely review here for Muddasir Ramzan's challenging new work here by @AzeefaFathima in @thenewsminute!
Book review @NewIndianXpress
Through an insightful narrative, the book uncovers the glaring political and religious fault lines beneath the region’s thriving, picturesque surface. An analytical biography of Rajasthan, From Dynasties to Democracy is a book that every serious reader of Indian politics should read.
