Building for South Asia
Architect Polk Believes That Words About Buildings Are Always Secondary To The Buildings Themselves. In Architectural Presentation, Buildings Themselves Are The Central Facts, And He Sees That This Is True In His Own Architectural Autobiography.Nevertheless, Alongwith The Many Plates That Some Measure Illustrate This Work, Polk Has Included Observations On Diverse And Unreconciled Situations That Help Explain The Special Cases Of The Artistry Of Space, Structure, And Form In His Designs. He Never Handed Down Abstract Form, And He Would Say That The Words Of His Book-Or Indeed Any Critique-Do Not Alter The Buildings. They Are Neither More Nor Less Because Of The Written Word.All The Buildings In This Architectural Autobiography Are Polk S Personal Designs And Belong To His Practice In South Asia, 1952-1964.

Bilingual education is usually framed as a tool of antiracism. This book challenges that framing by pointing to the ways that the foundations of modern approaches to bilingual education have their roots deficit perspectives of Latinx communities.

The first two stories recount local civil rights efforts that typified the grassroots activism of Mex...
