£85.00
This book explores Roman Catholic female missionaries and their placement in colonial and postcolonial India. It offers fascinating insights into their idiomatic activism, juxtaposed with a contrarian Protestant raj and with their own church patriarchies.
£90.00
This book presents for the first time a coherent analysis of the British Isles as an imperial setting understood through its buildings, spaces, and infrastructure. It considers ‘internal’ colonisation and its infrastructures of order and suppression, alongside wider relationships between architecture, imperialism, and cultural identity.
