Assessment of census-tract level socioeconomic position as a modifier of the relationship between short-term PM 2.5 exposure and cardiovascular emergency department visits in Missouri
Introduction Ambient particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM 2.5 ) exposure elevates the risk for cardiovascular disease morbidity (CVDM). The aim of this study is to characterise which area-level measures of socioeconomic position (SEP) modify the relationship between PM 2.5 exposure and CVDM in Missouri at the census-tract (CT) level. Methods We use individual level Missouri emergency department (ED) admissions data (n=3 284 956…

Framing India's Hydraulic Crisis: The Politics of the Modern Large Dam
For several decades following 1947, the modern large dam in India presented itself as a political conundrum, often voiced in strange, contradictory tones. In an oft-quoted speech in July 1954 Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister (1947-64), likened the large dam to a "modern temple." Later, in a less remembered speech before a gathering of engineers and technocrats in 1958, Nehru, as if in contrition, bemoaned the quest for big dams as a…

Rigidity and the Affliction of Capitalist Property: Colonial Land Revenue and the Recasting of Nature
This article will argue that colonial rule had to simultaneously alter both agrarian society and Nature in order to implant the Company zamindari system in deltaic Orissa. This led the colonial government to recast the previously flood-dependent agrarian regime into a flood-vulnerable landscape. Which in turn, I argue, led to the rupture of land, in hitherto unprecedented ways, from its previous ecological weave with the deltaÌs hydrology. In eff…

Damming the Mahanadi river: The emergence of multi-purpose river valley development in India (1943-46)
Nehruvian mnnumentalism has often been described as the most significant driver for large dam construction in independent India. Political and popular imagination has, until recently, not only largely hailed the pursuit of multi-purpose river valley development (MPRVD) as heralding the nation into the modern moment, but, more signifecantly, the latter has been celebrated as a part of an apolitical consensus for national development. This article …
