A selection of writings by artist, poet and political activist Jimmie Durham, one of the most influential figures of recent decades: essays and conferences on art and society, critical reflections on “Eurasia”, the history of US-American Indian relations, and observations on the city and nature. A recurrent theme is his interrogation of the ideological complicity between monumental architecture and scripture – “architexture”– as the foundation of Eurocentric belief and tool of others' disenfranchisement.

A comprehensive, generously illustrated retrospective featuring more than 100 works from all Jimmie Durham's creative periods. It contains major new essays, as well as new texts by Durham himself.
