Colonial History and Postcolonial Studies Urban Planning and Governance Spatial and Cultural Studies

Abstract

Examines the residential, policed, and infrastructural landscapes of New and Old Delhi under British Rule. The first book of its kind to present a comparative history of New and Old Delhi. Draws on the governmentality theories and methodologies presented in Michel Foucault's lecture courses. Looks at problems of social and racial segregation, the policing of the cities, and biopolitical needs in urban settings. Undertakes a critique of colonial governmentality on the basis of the lived spaces of everyday life. © 2007 Stephen Legg.
