More about the book

Focusing on the period from 1958 to 1973, the book explores how Israeli architectural development aid in Africa was influenced by settler colonial practices. Ayala Levin examines Israel's positioning as a developing-nation alternative amid global aid competition, highlighting its involvement in significant projects in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia. Through the lens of architects and planners, she reveals how Israel leveraged its colonial experiences to present itself as a source of nonaligned expertise, reshaping governance, education, and agriculture in Africa while fostering South-South connections.
