Anchored in an unusually rich set of field cases, Sustainability and Privilege creatively traces the manifold ways in which class, power, materiality, and culture get entangled with well-intentioned experiments by architects, undermining their sought-after goals of contributing to both poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability. The book is situated at the intersection of architecture and urban design, sustainability studies, development studies, and anthropology, and achieves a degree of interdisciplinary complexity that is rarely found in comparable work. --Arturo Escobar, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, author of Designs for the Pluriverse: Radical Interdependence, Autonomy, and the Making of Worlds
