There was, however, a bright spot in this otherwise dark chapter of US history: permission for 4,000 college-aged Japanese Americans to leave the camps and continue their education. Reflecting the shared and divergent experiences of internment, this volume spotlights those who made distinctive contributions across commercial and domestic architecture, graphic design, fine art, furniture design and activist design practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDivided into three parts, contributors examine iconic modernist works, everyday objects and spaces, and objects of resistance.

Presenting a diversity of renowned and lesser-known figures, chapters demonstrate that material and visual culture can serve as anchors of social identity and carriers of collective memory. They examine how acts of artistic self-definition intersected with issues of identity and belonging, displacement and confinement, racial exclusion and marginalization, and civic action and resistance, engaging them as part of the same worlds of post-war recovery and modern design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaving together object-focused and site-specific case studies with vernacular memory theory and methods, \u003ci\u003eEnduring Objects\u003c\/i\u003e animates an understudied creative archive of internment and its aftermath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeidi Aronson Kolk\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at the Sam Fox School of Design \u0026amp; Visual Arts and Assistant Vice Provost, Academic Assessment, at Washington University in St. Louis, USA.

Work and teaching around this subject explore the use of the disciplinary tools of architecture to reveal histories, construct new narratives, or imagine futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e05 August 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Visual Arts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350559493\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57328566730892,"sku":"9781350559493","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350559493","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
