This is the history of colonialism as seen though the architecture
of Israel/Palestine. Tel Aviv is the 'White City', said to have
risen from the sands of the desert, acclaimed worldwide for its
architectural heritage and gleaming Bauhaus-inspired Modernism.
Jaffa is the 'Black City', the Palestinian city that was largely
obliterated to make way for a new European-style architecture at
the heart of a newly-formed Israel. Both a gripping narrative and a
unique architectural record, this book shows how any city in the
world is made not only of stones and concrete but also of stories
and histories - victors and losers, predator and prey. In this way,
the legend of the Black City and the White City, architecture and
war, is our story too.
