From consumer products to architecture to advertising to digital
technology, design is an undeniably global phenomenon. Yet despite
their professed transnational perspective, historical studies of
design have all too often succumbed to a bias toward Western,
industrialized nations. This diverse but rigorously curated
collection recalibrates our understanding of design history,
reassessing regional and national cultures while situating them
within an international context. Here, contributors from five
continents offer nuanced studies that range from South Africa to
the Czech Republic, all the while sensitive to the complexities of
local variation and the role of nation-states in identity
construction.
