Highways to the End of the World
This book argues that road-building was naturalized in the twentieth century to the point of common sense, integrating roadbuilding into a system of climate change denial hidden within a broad international development imperative. How do these flamboyant and controversial 'roadmen' think about their work and the future of the planet? But if we can 'read' South Asian roads as forms of governance and knowledge, we can challenge the region's established geopolitical narratives, and the idea of a never-ending future.Highways to the End of the World explores the political economy of these ideas by focusing on the history of this phenomenon, and on the road-builders of South Asia themselves.
And how did they become central to the region's nationalist and developmental projects in the first place?Simpson's fascinating ethnographic account takes us What do roads do, and why?
