Reviews

<p> Sheila Crane's book masterfully weaves together episodes that have put Marseille in the center of a series of extraordinary developments for 20th century art, architecture and urban design. Mediterranean Crossroads unweaves a tangled web of representations, policies, and designs, that were to this day excised from the main narrative of modern architectural history. --Jean-Louis Cohen, Institute of Fine Art/New York University
