Architecture in Black argues that architecture, as an aesthetic
practice, and blackness, as a lingusitic practice, operate within
the same semiotic paradigm. The book presents the first systematic
analysis of the theoretical relationship between architecture and
blackness. Employing a technique whereby texts are realted through
the repetition and revision of their semiotic structures,
Architecture in Black reconstructs the genealogy of a black racial
subject reprsented by the simultaneous reading of a range of
canonical apparatus invented by this reading is then used to
critique a discrete set of architectural texts, demonstrating the
presence of the 'black venacular' in contemporary architectural
theory.>
