Race and Modern Architecture: A Critical History from the Enlightenment to the PresentAlthough 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
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.Binding Type: Paperback

My New Toeless Socks
These toeless cotton socks have been my go to socks, I have had twelve surgeries on my foot due to a car accident on my right foot. I cannot wear close toe socks as the cause swelling and pain, now I can wear these soft toeless socks with no pain or swelling. I love I have the option of three different colors as well.

These boot slippers are awesome!
Color: Long Black, Size: 10-13
Love 'em!
FINALLY found these after lots of searches.... I wanted "boot" type slippers FOR MEN, so in the cooler/colder weather my ankles stay warm, as well as my feet. (It's easy to find them for women, but for some reason pretty difficult to find them for men.) Well, Amazon must have added these recently, because I had checked a number of times this past winter/spring to no avail.
At any rate, these are GREAT! I had worn out another somewhat similar pair I had found on Temu a while back, but they were rather floppy and really too large and wide for my feet. After a year or so they had worn out, so I started searching anew, and found these on Amazon. These fit just great and are very well made, having a thick fleece and padded sole inside and a non-slip sole on the outside.
Very, very comfortable! Just what I wanted, and kudos again to Amazon!
