| Summary: | "Drawing upon the theories and methodologies of govern mentality as presented in Michel Foucault's translated lecture courses, Spaces of Colonialism provides an analysis of the attempts made by the Government of India to secure and order Delhi, the capital of the Raj from 1911 to 1947.
