Reviews
Huppatz's book is a welcome addition to a growing field ... [It] is hoped that viewpoints and writings on Asian Design will multiply in the coming years to create a more robust and inclusive global design history landscape. * Journal of Design History *
Modern Asian Design is a rich and timely contribution to the emergent body of research on design histories beyond the West. The book expands our knowledge of modern design in Asia and provides methodological approaches to studying what are often viewed as marginal contexts in design history. * Megha Rajguru, Senior Lecturer in Art and Design History at the University of Brighton, UK *
