Description: Children’s Experiences in Indian Slums : Technologies, Identities, and Jugaad, Hardcover by Bhatia, Kiran Vinod, ISBN 9048559936, ISBN-13 9789048559930, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This book departs from the universalising and rescue narratives of poor children and technologies. It offers complex stories on how children’s social identities (gender, caste, and religion), cultural norms, and personal aspirations influence their experiences. How do children challenge, circumvent, or reinforce the dominant sociocultural norms in their engagements with technologies? What can we learn about technologies and poor children’s jugaad and aspirations in the urban sprawls of India? This book explores these questions ethnographically by focusing on how children in three urban slums in India access technologies, inhabit online spaces, and personalise their experiences, networks, and identity articulations based on their values and aspirations. It utilises insights from studies on jugaad, expression, and sociality to argue that poor children’s material realities, community relations, and aspirations for leisure, class mobility, and belongingness profoundly shape their engagements with technologies.
