"Design justice" is an approach to design that is led by marginalized communities and that aims expilcitly to challenge, rather than reproduce, structural inequalities. It has emerged from a growing community of designers in various fields who work closely with social movements and community-based organizations around the world.</p><p>This book explores the theory and practice of design justice, demonstrates how universalist design principles and practices erase certain groups of people--specifically, those who are intersectionally disadvantaged or multiply burdened under the matrix of domination (white supremacist heteropatriarchy, ableism, capitalism, and settler colonialism)--and invites readers to "build a better world, a world where many worlds fit; linked worlds of collective liberation and ecological sustainability." Along the way, the book documents a multitude of real-world community-led design practices, each grounded in a particular social movement. <i>Design Justice</i> goes beyond recent calls for design for good, user-centered design, and employment diversity in the technology and design professions; it connects design to larger struggles for collective liberation and ecological survival.<br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Books like [<i>Design Justice</i>] offer insight into the history of disability and ideas for building on the ADA's foundation of basic protections to create a more just world for the variety of humans who inhabit it.<br>--<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>Constanza-Chock viscerally articulates the glaring gap between those who design commercial surveillance technology and those on whom it is used.<br>--<i>Public Books</i><br>
