Congratulations to Ananya Roy for winning the Paul Davidoff Award for her book, Poverty Capital.
Review of India’s New Economic Policy in Economic & Political Weekly

"This book has many elements to recommend it. Of particular note are case studies of cities to illustrate theoretical arguments, attention to the complexities of neo- liberalisation, and contestations of neo-liberal economic strategies. It would be of particular interest to economic geographers and those whose academic investigations lie in the field of urban studies. Further, the non-technical but not a-theoretic style of writing also make it a good read for anyone whose intellectual curiosity is piqued by neo-liberalism and its discontents." —Sirisha C Naidu, Economics, Wright State University, USA
