Thesis (Ph.D.)--Cornell University, 1992.

This dissertation is an exploration of the similar experiences of Kuala Lumpur and Rangoon as provincial colonial capitals within the British empire. By using archival sources from England and Malaysia which concentrate on the first few years of British administration in each city, I show how the planning and bureaucratic structure imported by British rule transformed these cities and made them part of a colonial hierarchy defined by a particular urban aesthetic. In discussing this transformation, I point out what steps the British took to effect it and so underline the ways by which a colonial government begins to institutionalize control over its subject population.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation is an exploration of the similar experiences of Kuala Lumpur and Rangoon as provincial colonial capitals within the British empire. By using archival sources from England and Malaysia which concentrate on the first few years of British administration in each city, I show how the planning and bureaucratic structure imported by British rule transformed these cities and made them part of a colonial hierarchy defined by a particular urban aesthetic. In discussing this transformation, I point out what steps the British took to effect it and so underline the ways by which a colonial government begins to institutionalize control over its subject population.
520 $a Rangoon was annexed by the British in 1852 following the Second Anglo-Burmese War and became the administrative capital of British Burma, a division of British India. Kuala Lumpur was absorbed into the British empire more gradually and, although placed under the supervision of a British resident in 1879, only became the capital of Selangor after 1881. Although the circumstances surrounding their initial contacts and final absorption into the British empire are different, the approaches of their first colonial administrators are very similar and reveal significant characteristics of the British colonial project. Both cities were re-made under colonialism so that their inner logic became the same, even as the need for quiet and stability moderated the real demands placed upon the colonized populations and affected how thoroughly the original plans for these cities were implemented.
520 $a This dissertation proposes to fit Kuala Lumpur and Rangoon into the current arguments about the nineteenth century colonial city. The colonial cities of Southeast Asia have been overlooked in these discussions and this study suggests the need to see these two places as relevant to each other through their similar experience as outposts of the British empire, aside from their coincident existence as cities of modern-day Southeast Asia.
