In Bruce Nussbaum’s 2011 article entitled “Is Humanitarian Design the NewImperialism?” he expresses frustration with the assumption made by Westernersthat they can show up in some radically different culture and help them solve theirdesign problems.1 He aptly asks “…[M]ight Indian, Brazilian and African designershave important design lessons to teach Western designers?” His points are valid, butthese concerns are not new.
