Focusing on transcultural modernism, the book explores artistic practices and anti-colonial movements from the 1920s to the 1960s through a postcolonial lens. It critiques Western concepts of race and culture while examining collaborations between artists across colonial boundaries. Case studies from Indian modernism, the Harlem Renaissance, and post-war abstraction illustrate a diverse global modernism as a political response to Western coloniality. The text serves as a vital resource for those studying art history, transcultural studies, and postcolonial theory.
