- Summary:
- "Christopher Dingwall, Daniel Schulman, and David Hartt assemble an incredible array of work by generations of African American designers who made and remade Chicago into a home for design practices that spanned the city, the nation, and the globe--whether Ebony magazine or 7-UP bottles. Foregrounding the racial politics that infused the lives and works of these designers, they reveal in remarkable detail that this body of work is not a minor element of mainstream design history, but a critical history in itself of modern American design, with the politics of race and the political economy of African American cultural production at its center"-- Provided by publisher
