Katherine Boo’s work on life in a Mumbai slum and Evan Osnos’s view of China
Paper instructions:
Compare and contrast Katherine Boo’s work on life in a Mumbai slum and Evan Osnos’s view of China in an age of ambition. In what ways are the aspirations of the people in Mumbai similar/different than those Osnos talks about in China? You can approach this from a number of different perspectives (culture, class, level of development are all possibilities you might consider), create a paper where the two books engage each other.
