Highways to the End of the World: Roads, Roadmen and Power in South Asia

by Edward Simpson

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. 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.
