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'.
