"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

"Modern Art in Africa, Asia, and Latin America remaps
modern art from a global perspective. Its groundbreaking analysis
engages the multiple locations and transcultural histories of
modern art through critical texts that chart its development in
African, Asian, and Latin American contexts. The resulting
anthology defeats once and for all the usual narrative of modern
art as a strictly Western European phenomenon."

- Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie, University of California Santa
Barbara

"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."

- Partha Mitter, University of Sussex
