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'. Illustrated with
seventy-five halftone images, it is a fascinating and thoroughly
grounded exposition of the societal impact of colonial architecture
and engineering.
