Criminality and Power in the Postcolonial City: Mapping the Mean Streets of Mumbai and Naples
This book investigates the literary imaginings of the postcolonial city through the lens of crime in texts set in Naples and Mumbai from the 1990s to the present. Employing the analogy of a ‘black hole,’ it posits the discourse on criminality as a way to investigate the contemporary spatial manifestations of coloniality and global capitalist urbanity. Despite their different histories, Mumbai and Naples have remarkable similarities. Both are port…
Decolonising the state: Subversion, Mimicry and Criminality
This special issue brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to reflect on the decolonisation of nation-states through acts of subversion, mimicry and criminality in the colonial and postcolonial world. Since the birth of nation-states, emerging in conjunction with the first wave of globalisation and the height of European colonialism in the mid-nineteenth century, avant-gardists have problematised the role of the nation-state.

Capitalism, criminality and the state: The Origins of Illegal Urban Modernity
This essay argues that criminality provides a critical magnifying lens to understand the network of subversive disconnections and disjunctures in postcolonial cities. By connecting the postcolonial city to the discourse on crime, it investigates the specific relations between exploitation, colonisation and the underworld.

As a crossroads of global cultural and economic intersections, Naples sits “in a space that extends both from Southern Europe and from North Africa” [Cavallo, Vincenzo, and Iain Chambers. 2014. Neapolitan Nights: From Vesuvian Blues to Plan…
