Its beautiful architecture was rediscovered by outsiders in the early 1990s. In \u003cem\u003eArchitecture in Asmara\u003c\/em\u003e, the authors offer an original analysis of the colonial city, providing a history not only of the physical and visible urban reality but also of a second, invisible city as it exists in the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe colonial city becomes a fantastical set of cities where each one reflects the others as if in a kaleidoscope. This ambitious book breaks new ground and moves us a little further along in the attempt to read Asmara into contemporary theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book brings together scholars from a multiplicity of disciplines who have shown the ways in which colonial and postcolonial criticism has served as a platform for new, diversified readings of Asmara.
