"As the first post-structuralist anthology on modern architecture, this compendium embraces feminist, post-colonial, and other historiographical critiques. Its careful selection of primary and secondary sources encourages reflection on the ways architectural history has been constructed." Nancy Stieber, University of Massachusetts Boston
