The book, White Papers, Black Marks: Architecture, Race, and Culture explores "the subject of architectural space and culture through the lens of race, sampling presumed disciplinary distances between cultural studies and architecture. The book recognizes the extent to which the production of space is bound up with racial ideologies and experiences, rooted in an understanding of the present and registering the ongoing processes of destruction and reclamation. Race, like the vast array of issues under discussion in the book, thus functions as a shifting signifier, pushing against epistemic closure and towards the sensory and the liberatory."
