A Queer Reading of Nawabi Architecture and the Colonial Archive uncovers the overlooked architectural contributions of Nawabs Asaf-ud-Daula and Wajid Ali Shah in Lucknow between 1775 and 1857. It challenges colonial biases that suppressed non-normative, queer expressions within the built environment. By applying queer and postcolonial strategies to archival materials, the book rewrites marginalised histories and brings erased narratives of nawabi architecture to light. It not only highlights how these nawabi expressions resisted colonial power but also how they cemented Lucknow's role as a cultural epicentre. This pioneering work redefines concepts from queer studies to articulate a framework for recognising queer architecture, offering a vital and meticulously researched re-mapping of spaces deliberately omitted by colonial narratives.
