New Delhi: The Last Imperial City de D. Johnson

New Delhi: The Last Imperial City: Britain and the World

Autor D. Johnson, Kenneth A. Loparo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 feb 2015
Johnson provides an historically rich examination of the intersection of early twentieth-century imperial culture, imperial politics, and imperial economics as reflected in the colonial built environment at New Delhi, a remarkably ambitious imperial capital built by the British between 1911 and 1931.
