"A Joint Enterprise is an ambitious, original, and interesting book on a valuable topic. Preeti Chopra provides unique interpretations of, among other things, the Indian reception and interpretation of the neo-Gothic architecture of the colonial regime." —Anthony King, author of Spaces of Global Cultures: Architecture, Urbanism, Identity
"One ends Chopra’s engaging book wondering if the first major dents to colonial Bombay’s famed cosmopolitanism came from these segregating medical and housing policies rather than events like the Hindu-Muslim Riots of 1893." —Hamazor
"Offers a new perspective on urban social history." —Enterprise and Society
"Vital to understanding the architectural genealogy of the city."— Buildings & Landscape
"This book is a valuable addition to the literature on South Asian urbanism. The ‘joint public realm’ is a useful effort to conceptualize the manner in which Indians engaged with notions like the public." —Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient
"Preeti Chopra’s A Joint Enterprise is a detailed, well-researched, illuminating work that makes a clear argument: ‘colonial’ cities are far less ‘colonial’ than we imagine. [It] is a major accomplishment, clearly the product of intensive research over many years by a scholar deeply committed to and knowledgeable in her chosen field." —Interventions
"As ambitious as it is imaginative, this book combines critical perspectives on the materiality and visibility of the modern city with an insightful examination of the agency of both colonial rulers and indigenous subjects. Elegantly presented and effectively developed." —Victorian Studies
