The New York Times selects Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America among Best Art Books of 2021
“At MoMA, Black architects and designers imagined interventions in 10 American cities that would not only make visible but repair the effects of anti-Black planning, policy and spatial violence. It was an important show, if dense and all-too-brief. Fortunately, the catalogue supplements these propositions with texts by prominent scholars and critics that give the project an open feel and cross-disciplinary weave.” —Siddhartha Mitter
