Structural Inequality: Black Architects in the United States

Author: Victoria Kaplan

Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield, 2006

In Structural Inequality Victoria Kaplan relates the stories of twenty black architects from around the United States to examine the sociological context of architectural practice. Through these experiences, research, and observation, she explores the role systemic racism plays in an occupation commonly referred to as the 'white gentlemen's profession.' Given the shifting demographics of the United States, Kaplan demonstrates that it is incumbent on the profession to act now to create a multicultural field of practitioners who mirror the changing client base.
