This book is about life in the inner-city areas of Kolkata's mainly Muslim settlements. It asks a simple question - how do the vast majority of Muslims, especially the poor, live, work, love and die? In the context of the communalisation of urban poverty, People Without History pays attention to the fabric of daily life in Muslim communities - the pursuit of gainful occupation, affective and social affinities, networks of kinship and neighbourhood.
