Industrialization and population explosion are contributing to an urban revolution in the developing countries of the world. Static social and economic conditions, frozen for hundreds of years, are rapidly being overturned. This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of various national programs and the efforts of international agencies directed toward achieving land reform and adequate housing. This is the first book on the subject. Charles Abrams, drawing heavily on his rich store of intimate practical experience, dramatically describes housing situations in Ghana, Turkey, Pakistan, the Philippines, Nigeria, Japan, Singapore, India, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Jamaica, Ireland, Barbados, and Bolivia. His expert knowledge of the legal and financial aspects of land and housing problems is tempered by common sense observation of technical and social aspects, enriched by imaginative human concern, and made effective by a high degree of political realism. Man's Struggle for Shelter will benefit a wide audience of readers. The urban and regional planner, the housing official, the land economist, and government policy planners, both here and abroad, will find this book extremely important.

Examines the role of architecture in the history of global development and decolonization. In Modernism’s Magic Hat, Ijlal Muzaffar examines how modern architects and planners help resolve one of the central dilemmas of the mid-twentieth-century world order: how to make decolonization plausible without accounting for centuries of capital drain under colonial rule. In the years after World War II, architects and planners found extensive opportunities in new international institutions—such as the World Bank, the UN, and the Ford Foundation—and helped shape new models of global intervention that displaced the burden of change onto the inhabitants. Muzaffar argues that architecture in this domain didn’t just symbolically represent power, but formed the material domain through which new modes of power acquired sense. Looking at a series of architectural projects across the world, from housing in Ghana to village planning in Nigeria and urban planning in Venezuela and Pakistan, Muzaffar explores how architects and planners shaped new ideas of time, land, climate, and the decolonizing body, making them appear as sources of untapped value. What resulted, Muzaffar argues, is a widespread belief in spontaneous Third World “development” without capital, which continues to foreclose any global discussion of colonial theft.

The author grew up in a two-parent home on the northside of Chicago in an area known as Cabrini Green Projects. His parents gave birth to 10 children. Four brothers and five sisters. Willis is the oldest child. Willis¿ father was a World War II hero at Iwo Jima in the Philippines where he was marooned for three years awaiting the return of the late General Douglas McArthur in 1945. He distinguished himself on rescue missions of American prisoners and special assignments during the ongoing battles against the Japanese in the Philippine Islands. He returned home and married the author¿s mother who was an elementary school teacher and a missionary. Willis¿ father always wanted to be a police officer in Chicago and achieved this goal prior to his demise in 1976. He was an American hero. The author was unable to afford college and decided to volunteer for military service with plans to enter college upon completion of military obligations. This landed him in the middle of the Vietnam Era War at a place called Phan Rang Vietnam from 1968-1969 where he served as a medical corpsman. Upon returning to the United States, Willis went to Southern Illinois University and received both B.S. and M.S. degrees. He worked at a pharmaceutical company named Schering-Plough, in the State of Illinois Department of Rehabilitation Services as a Senior Rehabilitation Counselor, and as a licensed minister in the Drug and Alcohol Ministry, Radio Ministry, Prison Ministry, and Nursing Home Ministry. Willis has been active in the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Disabled Veterans Organization, Wounded Warriors Organization, and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. His greatest ambition was to serve the needy and lost. God Bless America.

When Jack London died in 1916 at age forty, he was one of the most famous writers of his time. Eighty years later he remains one of the most widely read American authors in the world. The first major critical study of London to appear in a decade, Male Call analyzes the nature of his appeal by closely examining how the struggling young writer sought to promote himself in his early work as a sympathetic, romantic man of letters whose charismatic masculinity could carry more significance than his words themselves. Jonathan Auerbach shows that London's personal identity was not a basis of his literary success, but rather a consequence of it. Unlike previous studies of London that are driven by the author's biography, Male Call examines how London carefully invented a trademark "self" in order to gain access to a rapidly expanding popular magazine and book market that craved authenticity, celebrity, power, and personality. Auerbach demonstrates that only one fact of London's life truly shaped his art: his passionate desire to become a successful author. Whether imagining himself in stories and novels as a white man on trail in the Yukon, a sled dog, a tramp, or a professor; or engaging questions of manhood and mastery in terms of work, race, politics, class, or sexuality, London created a public persona for the purpose of exploiting the conventions of the publishing world and marketplace. Revising critical commonplaces about both Jack London's work and the meaning of "nature" within literary naturalism and turn-of-the-century ideologies of masculinity, Auerbach's analysis intriguingly complicates our view of London and sheds light on our own postmodern preoccupation with celebrity. Male Call will attract readers with an interest in American studies, American literature, gender studies, and cultural studies.
