This collection of essays by architect Mario Gooden investigates
the construction of African American identity and representation
through the medium of architecture. These five texts move between
history, theory, and criticism to explore a discourse of critical
spatial practice engaged in the constant reshaping of the African
Diaspora. African American cultural institutions designed and
constructed in recent years often rely on cultural stereotypes,
metaphors, and cliches to communicate significance, demonstrating
"Africanisms" through form and symbolism-but there is a far richer
and more complex heritage to be explored. Presented here is a
series of questions that interrogate and illuminate other
narratives of "African American architecture," and reveal
compelling ways of translating the philosophical idea of the
African Diaspora's experience into space.
