Congratulations to Ananya Roy for winning the Paul Davidoff Award for her book, Poverty Capital.
"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
