" Race and Modern Architecture challenges the suppression of race in canonical histories of modern architecture, revealing the discipline's foundation on hierarchies of racial difference, its absorption of racial thought, and the racial origins of modernism's narrative of universalism and progress. These incisive essays resonate beyond architectural history and reflect on the inextricable intertwining of race and modernism." -- Patricia Morton, University of California, Riverside, "This book will enlighten many. By exposing how modern architectural discourse and thought have been influenced quite heavily by racism, this critical and important scholarship sheds new light on the built environment. Race and Modern Architecture ultimately reveals how architecture and design have been silent partners in oppression in the United States and around the globe." -- Lee Bey, author of Southern Exposure: The Overlooked Architecture of Chicago's South Side, "This book will enlighten many. By exposing how modern architectural discourse and thought have been influenced quite heavily by racism, this critical and important scholarship sheds new light on the built environment. Race and Modern Architecture ultimately reveals how architecture and design have been silent partners in oppression in the United States and around the globe."--Lee Bey, author of Southern Exposure: The Overlooked Architecture of Chicago's South Side, "The volume . . . could hardly have come at a more appropriate time, as discussions of systemic racism in the United States spread from the classroom to the streets, from the streets to the halls of government. . . . the essays are equally strong, based upon significant archival and on-the-ground scholarship, with vigorous, fresh arguments." -- The Plan Journal, "It is difficult to recall an academic anthology so appropriately timed and so desperately needed as this volume. . . . Race and Modern Architecture promises to be a widely consulted text, a useful resource for architectural scholars and practitioners looking for a concise introduction to racial frameworks for reading the built environment as well as for scholars of other disciplines engaged in the theoretical and methodological debates." -- Journal of the Society for Architectural Historians, "This book will enlighten many. By exposing how modern architectural discourse and thought have been influenced quite heavily by racism, this critical and important scholarship sheds new light on the built environment. Race and Modern Architecture ultimately reveals how architecture and design have been silent partners in oppression in the United States and around the globe." --Lee Bey, author of Southern Exposure: The Overlooked Architecture of Chicago's South Side, "For practitioners, this carefully edited history may fill in gaps in historical knowledge and illuminate racial injustices playing out in contemporary cities. Anyone interested in beginning these difficult conversations will find this book invaluable." -- Canadian Architect, " Race and Modern Architecture challenges the suppression of race in canonical histories of modern architecture, revealing the discipline's foundation on hierarchies of racial difference, its absorption of racial thought, and the racial origins of modernism's narrative of universalism and progress. These incisive essays resonate beyond architectural history and reflect on the inextricable intertwining of race and modernism." --Patricia Morton, University of California, Riverside, " Race and Modern Architecture is a pioneering contribution and will guide scholars, educators, and students for years in better interpreting and illuminating the hidden histories of race in Western architecture. Carefully filling a lacuna in historical knowledge and methodology, this edited history will help to build complex and long-due conversations." -- Arris, "In looking at the history of architecture as a history of racialized cultures, seemingly everywhere, this volume makes a major contribution to the literature." -- CHOICE

Synopsis
Sheds new light on the construction and impact of race on architecture across the world since the eighteenth century., Although race--a concept of human difference that establishes hierarchies of power and domination--has played a critical role in the development of modern architectural discourse and practice since the Enlightenment, its influence on the discipline remains largely underexplored. This volume offers a welcome and long-awaited intervention for the field by shining a spotlight on constructions of race and their impact on architecture and theory in Europe and North America and across various global contexts since the eighteenth century. Challenging us to write race back into architectural history, contributors confront how racial thinking has intimately shaped some of the key concepts of modern architecture and culture over time, including freedom, revolution, character, national and indigenous style, progress, hybridity, climate, representation, and radicalism. By analyzing how architecture has intersected with histories of slavery, colonialism, and inequality--from eighteenth-century neoclassical governmental buildings to present-day housing projects for immigrants-- Race and Modern Architecture challenges, complicates, and revises the standard association of modern architecture with a universal project of emancipation and progress.
