Colonial Modernities : Building,Dwelling & Architecture in British India & Ceylon
Peter Scriver & Vikramaditya Prakash
Colonial Modernities : Building,Dwelling & Architecture in British India & Ceylon - New York Routledge 2007 - vii,287p.
A carefully crafted selection of essays from international experts, this book explores the effect of colonial architecture and space on the societies involved - both the colonizer and the colonized. Focusing on British India and Ceylon, the essays explore the discursive tensions between the various different scales and dimensions of such 'empire-building' practices and constructions. Providing a thorough exploration of these tensions, Colonial Modernities challenges the traditional literature on the architecture and infrastructure of the former European empires, not least that of the British Indian 'Raj'
