Description
"... [The] term [Mafia raj] ... refers to to the diffuse sphere of crime, business, and politics operating within a shadow world that is popularly referred to as the rule of the mafia ... Through intimate stories of the lives of powerful and aspiring bosses in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, this book illustrates their personal struggles for sovereignty as they climb the ladder of success. Ethnographically tracing the particularities of the South Asian case, the authors theorize what they call 'the art of bossing,' providing nuanced ideas about crime, corruption, and the lure of the strongman across the world."--Back cover.
