Modern Art in Africa, Asia and Latin America

“This is a much-needed volume offering a truly global perspective on modernism, a comparative investigation of transcultural interchanges, and a revision of current notions of peripheral modernities.”
- Günter Berghaus, University of Bristol

“The scholarship assembled in this volume presents a welcome and long-overdue challenge to Eurocentric histories of modernism. Charting the development of the first truly global art practices, it opens up a critical space for further research on geographies too often neglected by Western academia.”
- Jean Fisher, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Middlesex University

“This ambitious, wide-ranging volume aims to challenge and correct misconceptions about non-western art that it has little to contribute to global modernism. Balanced by a judicious mixture of original sources and deeply researched, theoretically acute chapters written by internationally respected authorities, the volume will be an indispensable tool for students, scholars and all those interested in a more critical history of global modernism.”
