Summary:

"Re-Designing the East looks at how politicized graphic design practices in Eastern Europe, South and Eastern Asia have evolved since the 1980s, with particular emphasis on designers working in zones of recent political, economic and cultural upheaval, such as Hungary, Poland, the former Czechoslovakia and South Korea. Emphasizing the dubiousness of geopolitical ascription, the book looks at a spectrum of highly divergent graphic design positions, such as: the logo of the Solidarnosc (Solidarity) movement created by Polish designer Jerzy Janiszewski; the Indian network Design & People; the Thai designer Pracha Suveeranont and his extensive boycott campaign; and the South Korean group Activism of Graphic Imagination (A.G.I.)"--Publisher's web site.
