"It is about time that we give an account of world-making in the aftermath of empire from the perspective of its postcolonial dreamers and builders. Chris Moffat offers us more than just an itinerary of modernism from the global souththis is a truly vibrant intellectual history."Vazira Zamindar, Brown University
"While the expediencies and profanations of architectural expressions of modernity often cause them to escape the attention of serious historians and theoristsas ethnonationalist and ideological entanglements, or commercial and other contingent forces limit modern architecture's integrity as an object for intensive scholarly philosophical inquiryChris Moffat recovers architectural modernism, with custodial generosity, as a subject of intellectual history. Restoring the capacity of architectural form, environments, and practices to accommodate the profound problem of the postcolony, one embedded in the vexations and potentials ever present in the idea of Pakistanand, indeed, through the visions, memories, and hands of its makersLahore after Modernism brings capacious architectural histories into the narrative, along with a persistent demand to leave big questions of meaning-making under negotiation."Anooradha Iyer Siddiqi, Barnard College, Columbia University
