Architecture and Urban Form in Kuala Lumpur [EPUB ebook] 
Race and Chinese Spaces in a Postcolonial City

This book is arguably the first academic book to examine the relationship of Malaysia“s large Chinese minority with the politics of architecture and urbanism in Kuala Lumpur. It is also one of the few academic books to situate the Chinese diaspora spaces at the centre of the construction of city and nation. By including the spatial contestation of those from the margins and their resistance against the hegemonic state ideology, this book proposes a recuperative urban and architectural history, seeking to revalidate the marginalised spaces of minority community (Chinese spaces in Kuala Lumpur), and re-script them into the narrative of the postcolonial nation-state.
