Reseña del libro "Colonizing, Decolonizing, and Globalizing Kolkata: From a Colonial to a Post-Marxist City"
Colonizing, Decolonizing, and Globalizing Kolkata offers an extended analysis of the architecture and urban planning of Kolkata from the earliest days of colonialism through independence and on into the twenty-first century, all set in the larger context of Indian cities' architecture and urban planning. What Siddhartha Sen shows is the transformation of a colonial city into a Marxist one -- and ongoing attempts to further transform Kolkata into a global city. Richly illustrated, the book carefully situates architecture, design, and urban planning within Kolkata's political economy and social milieu.
