A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Area/Ethnic Studies: Black Studies outside the U.S. 'A younger generation of scholars is now rethinking the architectural history of South Africa, and with this book, Nic Coetzer proudly joins their ranks. He provides a fascinating yet chilling tale of how British Garden City planning and housing design played a role in racial segregation in Cape Town, creating appalling social problems which would have ramifications for decades after.' Murray Fraser, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture, UK 'I recommend this book to all South African architects and architectural historians who have an interest in architecture and politics. Coetzer's revisionist research about the origins of segregation will also enlighten all South Africans about the fantasy of the agents of Empire with its dire consequences.' The South African Journal of Art History
