They reveal the projection of power and authority in colonised landscapes, as well the economic ambitions and social and cultural needs of colonial peoples in all types of colonies. They also represent a colonial order of social classes and racial divisions, together with the ways in which these were inflected through domestic living space, places of work and various aspects of cultural relations. They illuminate the desires of Europeans to indulge in cultural and religious proselytisation, encouraging indigenous peoples to adopt western norms. But the resistance of the supposedly subordinate people led to the invasion, adoption and adaptation of such buildings for a post-colonial world. The book will be vital reading for all students and scholars interested in the widest aspects of material culture. 606 $aArchitecture and society$zGreat Britain 606 $aImperialism and architecture 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArchitecture and society 615 0$aImperialism and architecture. 676 $a720.941 700 $aMacKenzie$b John M$g(John MacDonald),$f1943-$0642285 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480142803321 996 $aThe British Empire through buildings$91945816 997 $aUNINA
