Fugitive Archives : A Sourcebook for Centring Africa in Histories of Architecture
No full text"Fugitive Archives is not a book about African architecture or its history. It is a book about the role of primary research in the work of the fellows and about how, to centre Africa in histories of modern architecture, they had to develop new ways of finding, seeing, and listening. The sources presented here are starting points for dismantling and expanding existing architectural archives, in which what is considered valuable enough to archive remains dominated by colonial or Western knowledge frameworks. Through varied media and formats, the sources multiply narratives by highlighting diverse actors, practices, and geographies—on and off the continent—implicated in the history of modern African architecture. Rather than suggesting key, but inevitably reductive, themes, this book brings the fellows and their sources into dialogue in three sections that foreground similar methods and challenges to locating, accessing, reading, and constructing otherwise fugitive archives." -- Publisher's website
La nuit est un poème
No full text"Although the collective's photographers have each developed a process that is uniquely their own, they are bound by a similar style and approach. By observing their everyday lives as well as the territories and people around them, they seek to cast light on certain social issues while making a general portrait of the era they live in. This book is the Collective's first publication. It stems from the desire to share a common project, despite the distance and busy lives that keep them apart. This is where the night chose to unite us. By combining our visions and our ideas, we interwined our nocturnal inspirations into the narrative found within these pages." -- Inside back cover

Halfe, an interview with the artist by Sarah Milroy, as well as a response to McMaster’s work from noted Métis writer, filmmaker, and activist Maria Campbell, a respected senior voice in Canadian literature." -- Publisher's website
