520			_aThis book explores how the design characteristics of homes can support or suppress individuals attempts to create meaning in their lives, which in turn, impacts well-being and delineates the production of health, income, and educational disparities within homes and communities. According to the author, the physical realities of living space--such as how kitchen layouts restrict cooking, the size of social areas limits gatherings with friends, and dining tables represent aspirations--have a salient connection to the beliefs, culture, and happiness of the individuals in the space. The books purpose is to examine the human capacity to create meaning and to rally home mediators (scholars, educators, design practitioners, policy makes, and advocates) to work toward culturally enriched communities in which everyone can thrive. The volume includes stories from Hmong, Somali, Mexican, Ojibwe, and African American individuals living in Minnesota to show how space intersects with race, gender, citizenship, ability, religion, and ethnicity to posit that social inequalities are partially spacially constructed and are, therefore, malleable.
