- Title
Architecture in Global Socialism. Eastern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East in the Cold War.
- Authors
Hatton-Proulx, Clarence
- Abstract
One of the smart moves Stanek makes in this book is to situate transnational construction exchanges within the political economy of socialist states. Beyond ideology, other concerns explained the socialist involvement in West Africa and the Middle East. In 1960s Nigeria, for instance, eastern European architects such as the Polish Zbigniew Dmochowski, who documented and valued Nigerian vernacular architecture, served as an expertise bridge in universities between departing British educators and the incoming foreign-educated Nigerian architects.
