Susan G. Solomon's Louis I. Kahn's Jewish Architecture achieves several objectives. Principally, it expands the body of knowledge on Kahn, one of the twentieth century's most important architects, with an in-depth study of one of his key projects. In addition, it contributes greatly to our understanding of a building type that has been understudied, offers a new perspective on the cultural history of the mid-20th century and on the effects of suburbanism in particular, and focuses a keen eye on subtle shifts in both the interpretation and reception of Modernism from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Solomon's text is intelligent and compelling; her narrative style engages the reader on multiple levels.
