520			_a"We live in cities whose borders have always been subject to expansion. What does such transformation of rural spaces mean for cities and vice versa? This book looks at the spatial transformation of villages brought into Delhi's urban fray in the 1950s. As these villages transform physically, their residents, an agrarian-pastoralist community-the Jats-also transform into dabblers in real estate. Through two villages, Munirka and Shahpur Jat, both in the heart of the bustling urban economies of Delhi reveal that it is 'rent', more than 'capital', that could define this suburbanisation. Bhaichara, once a form of land ownership in colonial times, transforms into an affective claim of belonging and managing urban property in the face of a steady onslaught from the 'city'. Properties of Rent is a study of how a vernacular form of capitalism and its various affects shape up in opposition to the state, finance capital and the city in contemporary urban Delhi"-- _cProvided by publisher.650
