Towards Global Histories of Design: Postcolonial Perspectives

Description

This publication includes the proceedings of the 2013 Annual Design History Conference. This compendium of research papers explores a wide spectrum of topics through a postcolonial lens; namely, national design histories, design historiography, design and orientalism, design education and pedagogy, and design and ethnicity to name a few. At the crux of this publication lies the genuine vision to inform readers how postcolonial interpretations have come to shape and influence the field of design history consequently making it a globalised discipline.
