Throughout the 21st century, craft practices have garnered significant attention across the West, which these essays argue is a direct response to and critique of the economic, social and technological contexts in which we live. Just as Ruskin and Morris viewed craft and its ethos in the 1800s as a political opposition to the Industrial Revolution, Craft is Political contends that current craft activities are politically saturated when perspectives from the Global South, Indigenous ideology and even Western government policy are examined. Case studies consider craft and design in Turkey and craft markets in New Zealand to Indigenous practitioners in Taiwan and Finnish craft education.
