Summary

Rock Gems Glow explores the fascinating story of Zuni jewelry and its profound economic and cultural impact on the Zuni Pueblo. This art form, deeply rooted in Zuni traditions, has become a vital source of economic empowerment for the community. The book examines not only the evolution of Zuni jewelry, including lapidary techniques and intricate designs, but also its role in preserving cultural heritage. Intriguingly, Zuni jewelry transitioned from primarily ceremonial use to a significant income source, demonstrating the adaptability and resilience of indigenous art.

 
The book progresses from introducing Zuni culture and artistic history to detailing jewelry techniques and analyzing economic factors like supply chains and market dynamics. It argues that Zuni jewelry exemplifies how indigenous art can drive economic development while maintaining cultural integrity, challenging conventional economic models. Through ethnographic fieldwork and economic analysis, Rock Gems Glow reveals how craftsmanship, cultural tourism, and community development are intertwined, offering a unique perspective on art economics.

    A look at the many Black and Queer contributions to Design and Art 
  
Growing up in Seale, Alabama as a Black Queer kid, then attending the Rhode Island School of Design as an undergraduate, Jon Key hungered to see himself in the fields of Art and Design. But in lectures, critiques, and in the books he read, he struggled to see and learn about people who intersected with his identity or who GOT him. So he started asking himself questions: 
  
What did it mean to be a graphic designer with his point of view? What did it mean to be a Black graphic designer? A Queer graphic designer? Someone from the South? Could his identity be communicated through a poster or a book? How could identity be archived in a design canon that has consistently erased contributions by designers who were not white, straight, and male? 
  
In Black, Queer & Untold, acclaimed designer and artist Jon Key answers these questions and manifests the book he and so many others wish they had when they were coming up. He pays tribute to the incredible designers, artists, and people who came before and provides them an enduring, reverential stage—and in so doing, gifts us a book that takes its place among the creative arts canon.

    Sex on screen is unnecessary, gratuitous, and serves no purpose. This is the sentiment on the rise as cinema becomes less and less sexy.
Xuanlin Tham counters that sex scenes can open our minds and bodies to the possibility of new futures, and seduce us towards an expanded political imagination. Through The Matrix Reloaded, Lingua Franca and beyond, Revolutionary Desires explores how the form's intimacies, transgressions, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from it.
Why is the sex scene, demonised as it is, therefore more politically important and subversive than ever? And how can it power a desire for something more?

    Building Inclusion: A Practical Guide to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Architecture and the Built Environment is just that—a manual to support and provide essential guidance to the profession on these key issues. Acknowledging that the existence of EDI procedures does not necessarily ensure their use, it focuses on demonstrating behaviors that help create, implement, and enforce policies, procedures, and practices to deliver inclusion. 
 
 
 
Written by Marsha Ramroop, former inaugural EDI director at the RIBA and award-winning EDI strategist, the book targets the pain points of talent attraction and retention, public sector procurement, community engagement, and inclusive design. It utilizes case studies from organizations across the sector and the world with successful EDI practices, as well as testimonials of lived experiences of discrimination which provide important insight to the listener. The book takes an intersectional approach, considering not just the separate identities of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender and sexual identity, disability, neurodiversity, and class but the overlap of these. 
 
 
 
Clearly written and accessible, with key points at the end of each chapter, this book is essential for those in the profession seeking to implement EDI practices in their work and workplace.
