Design Justice
Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need
Book • 2020
Design Justice is an approach to design led by marginalized communities, aiming to challenge rather than reproduce structural inequalities.
The book demonstrates how universalist design principles erase certain groups of people, particularly those intersectionally disadvantaged under the matrix of domination (white supremacist heteropatriarchy, ableism, capitalism, and settler colonialism).
It documents real-world community-led design practices grounded in various social movements and offers guidelines that center the knowledge and practices of historically marginalized communities.
The book connects design to larger struggles for collective liberation and ecological survival, going beyond recent calls for design for good and user-centered design.
