Summary:
In this book Gwendolyn Wright contends that American Modernism is not merely a branch of the European Modern Movement brought across the Atlantic by émigrés and often misinterpreted, but rather an exciting and evolving hybrid of distinctive ambitions, sensibilities and cultures. From early suburbs and skyscrapers in the aftermath of the Civil War to Art Deco and other experiments that flourished in the 1920s, to postmodernism and major new projects of today, Wright explains the dynamic relationships between social and political issues, broad cultural trends and changing concepts of modern life.

Summary:
From the early decades of the twentieth century until the 1980s, Marxist art history was at the forefront of radical approaches to the discipline. But in the last two decades of the century and into the next, Marxist art historians found themselves marginalized from the vanguard by the rise of postmodernism and identity politics. In the wake of the recent global crisis there has been a resurgence of interest in Marx. Now available in paperback, this collection of essays brings together 30 academics who are reshaping art history along Marxist lines.

Summary:
The first English anthology of the writings of the British-Italian architect, editor, critic, and educator Ernesto Rogers (1909–1969), ''The Hero of Doubt'' showcases the intellectual power and scope of one of the most influential yet, paradoxically, unrecognized exponents of the modern movement in Europe. These essays, edited by Roberta Marcaccio and newly translated from the Italian, reveal how, more than any other architect of the twentieth century, Rogers positioned himself as a mediator between the heroic generation of the modern masters and the younger intellectuals who went on to shape the contextualist turns of architectural postmodernism in the 1970s.
