Beschreibung

<p><strong>'Gripping'</strong> <em>Economist</em></p><p><strong>'A fascinating exposé'</strong> Raja Shehadeh, author of <em>Palestinian Walks</em></p><p><strong>'Path-breaking and brilliant'</strong> Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic Architecture and author of <em>Hollow Land</em></p><p>Tel Aviv, the Zionist project's 'White City', is said to have risen from the sands of the desert. Acclaimed worldwide for its architectural heritage and gleaming Bauhaus-inspired Modernism, it is ostensibly designed to be a safe home for the Jewish people.</p><p>However, the reality of the city's establishment was very different. Hidden below its foundations are the remains of Jaffa - the 'Black City', a Palestinian city that was obliterated to make way for European-style architecture at the heart of a newly-formed Israel.</p><p>Both a gripping narrative and a unique architectural record, <em>White City, Black City</em> shows that cities are made not only of stones and concrete but also of stories and histories - victors and losers, predator and prey.</p><p>This new edition contains a postscript reflecting on the destruction of the Gaza Strip.</p><p>Sharon Rotbard is an Israeli architect, publisher and author. He co-founded the independent press Babel Publishers and serves as Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. He lives with his wife in Tel Aviv.</p>
