| Description: |
A hidden history of colonialism and war in Jaffa and Tel Aviv as seen through its changing architectural landscape |
| Synopsis: |
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. |
