Summary:

This book is the result of Kett's participation in the CCA Emerging Curator program, which aims to take the institution's curatorial work into unexplored territories. Kett, an anthropologist and curator based in California, pointed to the need to study the confluence of new media practices and the influence of Indigenous culture in the design work of the American counterculture: looking back at this moment, he suggested, would open new perspectives on contemporary debates concerning cultural appropriation and design methodology. By offering the CCA the chance to explore these questions, the project also identified important gaps in its collection and programming regarding the presence of Indigenous voices.--From the publisher.
Here, I analyze the limitations of counter-culture visions for Alcatraz during the occupation of the island by Indigenous activists from 1969 to 1971 to underscore the urgent need for new methods in design.--Back cover.
