Reviews for Colonial Lahore: A History of the City and Beyond
'Colonial Lahore breathes new life into this city's recent history, bringing the local into direct and often intimate conversation with the global, and vice versa. It transforms our appreciation of Lahore's unique past, in effect sealing the city's credentials as one of South Asia's most important, if often overlooked, zones of interaction in the era of imperial globalisation.'
