Résumé:
''Southern Exposure: The overlooked architecture of Chicago's South Side'' is the first book devoted to the South Side's rich and unfairly ignored architectural heritage. With lively, insightful text and colour photographs by noted Chicago architecture expert Lee Bey, this book documents the remarkable and largely unsung architecture of the South Side. The book features an array of landmarks-from a Space Age dry cleaners to a nineteenth-century lagoon that meanders down the middle of a working-class neighborhood street-that are largely absent from arts discourse, in no small part because they sit in a predominantly African American and Latino section of town that's better known as a place of disinvestment, abandonment, and violence.
