The Politics of Design: A (Not So) Global Design Manual for Visual Communication

Fantastic book which illuminates so much of what we are conditioned to view as acceptable design standards. Indeed, our personal biases and cultural upbringing influence the work we do in such a significant way. A few typos here and there, but otherwise a highly enjoyable and educational read, with lovely examples throughout. I enjoy the size of the book, as it is easy to slip into a purse and read on the daily commute.

In my opnion the most important design book ever!

This book informed me of so many different perspectives, and challenges what we’re trained to see as the “norm.” Everyone should read this

I purchased this as a required textbook for class. I like the design and size of this book. The way the elements are spread throughout the book makes it visually interesting and engaging.

I loved this book and I've been interested in the topic since it was first mentioned by another author I really like. It's not very dense, I could have easily read the whole thing in one sitting. It has a lot of pictures and talks about controversial design from a variety of case studies. I like how he took something that could have easily been boring and academic, and made it into a fun read.

Very thoughtful, It explores the cultural meaning behind symbols and knowledge of silence through visual communication.

Excellent book, I would recommend to anyone looking for a brief introduction to many interesting topics of conversation. Well put together and included accessible language.

Interesting and insightful

one of the few books on the political impact of design

On point, funny and good read in-between working hours.

an important reference not only for those who works in design

boring

Es un libro que compré hace unos meses como regalo de Navidad para una persona que trabaja en el ámbito del diseño gráfico y le encantó este libro. Es bastante compacto y su contenido está distribuido para aprovechar al máximo el espacio en las páginas.
