- Annawadi oder Der Traum von einem anderen Leben (englischer Originaltitel: Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity) ist ein Sachbuch der zuvor bereits mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichneten Journalistin Katherine Boo. Für ihr erstes Buch erhielt sie eine Reihe von Preisen, darunter den National Book Award und den Los Angeles Times Book Prize. Boo, die zuvor überwiegend über verarmte Bevölkerungsschichten in den Vereinigten Staaten schrieb, schildert in ihrem Sachbuch den täglichen Überlebenskampf der Einwohner eines kleinen Slums in Mumbai, Indien, der den Namen Annawadi trägt. Sie konzentriert sich dabei auf die Lebenssituation einiger weniger Personen, darunter einem Müllsammler, einem weiblichen „Slumlord“ und einer College-Studentin. Boo ist eine US-Amerikanerin weißer Hautfarbe und lebte mehrere Jahre lang mit ihrem Mann, einem indischen Politologen, in Mumbai. (de)
