Immerse yourself in the compelling narrative of 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body', published by Princeton University Press. This insightful text, with ISBN 9780691208190, delves into the fascinating intersection of design, race, and gender during the postwar period in America. Discover how mid-century Modernism, an iconic aesthetic movement, was not merely a stylistic choice but a profound societal statement laden with implications about identity and privilege.

In this groundbreaking exploration, author Kristina Wilson analyzes the marketing strategies and presentation of Modernist decor, emphasizing the notions of race and gender that shaped consumer perceptions. Spanning various mediums including advertisements from major publications like Life and Ebony, furniture by renowned designers such as George Nelson, and everyday objects, this book reveals how mid-century design influenced ideas of security, comfort, and social status.

Furthermore, Wilson illuminates how the domestic roles prescribed to women were fortified by the narratives surrounding Modernist furnishings.

'Kings of style exhibits in the context of race and gender may yield a narrative that challenges our understanding of aesthetics in design.' This rich, scholarly work invites readers to revisit the complexities of Modernism beyond mere visual appeal and confronts the socio-political implications of design choices. Perfect for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of design history, 'Mid-Century Modernism and the American Body' stands as an essential addition to any library. Explore the unvarnished truths behind the era's celebrated designs and their enduring legacy.

License flap is terrible, but wallet is nice
Style: Bi-fold
I do like the wallet but I hate the little extra flap inside it. It's very hard to get my license out of it. It makes the wallet way too thick. I just took it out and i don't use it. They should of just sewn 1 flap in there and the wallet would of been much thinner and still able to use the extra flap.
