America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin Of Others.
In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books: Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy. Morrison also writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin colour to reveal character or drive narrative.
Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date.

Procter-Rihl is a multidisciplinary studio that navigates between
the scales of architecture, furniture, product design, exhibition
and landscape. In a world dominated by over-specialisation, there
are few architects that inhabit these multiple areas consistently
through their career. The studio proposes a new approach in
architecture, Trans-Local, which brings together the familiar and
the extraordinary, the local and the global. Unlike typical
contextual approaches to place, this method creates tension between
the familiar and the new. Architecture and Beyond surveys the work
of the practice, revealing a design method based on linguistics
fusing spatial verbs to local archetypes. The projects shown do not
follow a chronological order but are clustered by four key design
operations: fold, perforate, float and weave. They are firestarters
to spatial investigations that are regularly revisited in different
scales, programmes or disciplines. The method embraces a
diagrammatic purity that is inevitably reflected in the projects.
Conditional design methods have been extensively explored by recent
parametric and digital architecture delivering complex and
extra-ordinary architecture as a non-contextual formal pursuit.
What is new in Procter-Rihl's design method is the fusion of an
operative system to a symbolic matrix creating an architecture that
responds to locality but also is challenging and provocative. This
book highlights 42 projects richly illustrated with more than 258
photos and 100 drawings.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
