Displacement, Revolution, and the New Urban Condition (Sage Press) is the most recent work of Dr. Ipsita Chatterjee.

Published in June 2014 by Sage Press, the book "provides a window into the global urban contradiction through the lens of a Third World city. It is not a book on urban India, or a book on Ahmedabad city, or even a book on the Sabarmati River Front Development (SRFD) project, but it is a book that uses all these lenses to conceptualize urban exploitation.

This book is, therefore, as much about the poor people of Ahmedabad as it is about global urban displacement and the politics of resettlement and resistance--theory and practice are always inflected, and the chapters demonstrate this inflection deeply and clearly. The point is to change the world, and to do so we must relentlessly struggle to better the concepts that we use to understand it with. This book is such a struggle."

The book includes chapters on: "New Urban Politics", "Resettlement and the Territorialization of Exploitation", and "Of Unruly Practices and Resistance", "Reversing the Arrow? Theory Transfer and Theory-building."
