Design History Beyond the Canon

Book Overview

Bringing together research that subverts the hierarchies of taste which have dominated traditional narratives, this volume highlights the often marginalized role of gender and racial identity in the production and consumption of design. While focused primarily on North American examples from the early 20th century onwards, this collection also features essays examining European and Soviet design history, as well as the influence of Asia and Africa on Western design practice. Authors utilize a range of research methods and theoretical approaches including feminist theory, critical race theory, spatial theory, material culture studies, science and technology studies, and art history.
