Reviews
Rigorously researched, imaginatively conceived, broadly situated, supported by a wealth of highly relevant illustrations, and replete with a stellar cast of architects. . . . Gonzalez cleverly decodes the dance between subject and object that accompanied the lengthy history of the Pan-American idea, and establishes the emerging centrality of modernism as a common ground for hemispheric identity, just as its most dramatic form of built expression threatens to be a militarized wall., González draws from considerable archival research to show how an array of built expressions engage and ossify the ideological formation of Pan-Americanism. This work offers much to scholarship exploring recent cultural and political shifts in North America agitating for the construction of intra-American walls and the policing of borders., One of the gifts this book makes to the reader is the inclusion of a plethora of maps, photographs, posters, postcards, stamps, lithographs, and etchings. The visual contents of the book are thus as inviting as the critical analysis. We are able to literally see the development of an iconographic syntax and grammar of a visual language., Designing Pan-America is an important survey of the architectural culture generated by Washington geopolitics for building the idea of the Western Hemisphere between the global expansion of US empire around 1800 and its seeming regression around 1970. It impressively demonstrates the synergy between diplomatic designs and the design of diplomatic sites. The visual research is vast and striking, a capacious trove vibrantly rendered in color. Consequently, this good read provides a fresh perspective on both the history of international ideas in action and the idea of the Americas in (mainly) the United States.
