Review: "In Designing Modern Britain Cheryl Buckley gives us a long-needed history of British design culture. By tracking the relationships between design and identities - international, national and regional; gender, class and race; modernism, modernity and tradition - Designing Modern Britain demonstrates how ceramics and furniture, fashion and textiles, architecture and interior design represent the continuous interplay between these identities."--BOOK JACKET.
