Description: This ethnography of a river restoration project in Kathmandu, Nepals capital and one of the fastest-growing cities in Southeast Asia, contributes to the nascent anthropology of urban environments.
Review Quotes: "Rademacher provides an engaging ethnographic account of environmental and political transformation in Kathmandu, permeated with abundant historical material and written with a close yet critical understanding of the subject. The book, strong on theoretical references to interdisciplinary debates in social science and in the field of Nepal studies, has made its own important contributions in these fields."--Tashi Tsering "Environmental History"
