Summary: <img src="http://chiasmos.uchicago.edu/images/neeraphoto.gif" alt="adarkar photo" align="left">As part of "<a href="http://displacementweek.uchicago.edu">Displacement Week 2008</a>", architect and women's rights activist Neera Adarkar discusses the history of central Bombay's textile area — one of the most important, least known, stories of modern India. Covering a dense network of textile mills, public housing estates, markets and cultural centers, this area covers approximately one thousand acres in the heart of India's commercial and financial capital. In <em>One Hundred Years, One Hundred Voices</em>, Adarkar presents one hundred testimonies from residents of the former mill districts: a window into the history, culture and political economy of a former colonial port city now recasting itself as a global metropolis. From the World Beyond the Headlines Series.
