Reviews

[An] exciting anthology ... [It] challenges us to critique the concept of a canon in our teaching narratives and selected research projects, and also to critique the canonical methods that have shaped the field of design history to date. * Design and Culture * Questioning the existing limitations of sole geniuses and conventional art histories, Design History Beyond the Canon is an appealing resource for design academics and students alike. * Journal of Design History * Design History Beyond the Canon would make a great addition to a design library. It is recommended for scholars in the field of design history in the United States who are teaching introductory courses but who also might be developing upper-level curriculum for design students. The essays are also suitable for and accessible to students in the field of design history. * ARLIS/NA Reviews * The chapters within the volume are all of an excellent standard, well researched and well written with new things to say about the subject. * Anne Massey, Visiting Professor of Design at Richmond, the American International University in London, UK * As someone who approaches design as an inherently interdisciplinary practice, I find that this book would be a meaningful addition to a modestly covered subject area in much need of critical discourse. This is an impressive edited volume. * Amir Berbic, Professor and Chair of Graphic Design at the University of Illinois at Chicago, USA * This is a useful, diverse collection and an interesting snap-shot of design history research in the US now. * Harriet Atkinson, Senior Lecturer in Design History at the University of Brighton, UK *
