Desire, loss, alienation, violence and hope all collide in Pati's evocative book. Ethnographically rich and conceptually bold, Properties of Rent makes a range of provocative interventions, in debates spanning geographical political economy, anthropologies of capitalism and urban theory.'

What does such transformation of rural spaces mean for cities and vice-versa? This book looks at the spatial transformation of villages brought into the 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. A study of two villages - Munirka and Shahpur Jat - both in the heart of bustling urban economies of Delhi, reveal that it is 'rent' 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 vernacular form of capitalism and its various affects shape up in opposition to both state, finance capital and the city in contemporary urban Delhi.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e List of maps and figures\u003cbr\u003e Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Units of measurement\u003cbr\u003e Maps\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
