“Book Descriptions: A rich, inclusive, contemporary, and global look at design diversity, past and present, through essays, interviews, and images curated by design educator and advocate Kaleena Sales. As the design industry reexamines its emphasis on Eurocentric ideologies and wrestles with its conventional practices, Centered advocates for highlighting and giving a voice to the people, places, methods, ideas, and beliefs that have been eclipsed or excluded by dominant design movements. Curated by Kaleena Sales, a powerful voice and noted advocate for diversity in the design community, the thirteen essays and interviews in this volume feature important and underrepresented design work and projects, both historical and present-day, including: Gee’s Bend Quilters, by Stephen Child and Isabella D’AgnenicaA Chinese Typographic Archive, by YuJune Park and Caspar Lam Indigenous Sovereignty and Design: An Interview with Sadie Red Wing (Her Shawl is Yellow)The Truck Art of India, by Shantanu SumanNew Lessons from the Bauhaus: An Interview with Ellen Lupton Vocal Type: An Interview with Tré SealsDecolonizing Graphic Design, A Must, by Cheryl D.
