Publisher's Synopsis
This volume assembles essays by 25 emerging and established scholars, who have turned their minds to the art and the writing of it in Southeast Asia from the 19th century to the present. Supplemented by 200 images, surveys of national modernities and expanded thematic discussions play out alongside monographic projects; inclusions and exclusions from conventional narratives and categories of art are critically reviewed. Together, these essays chart new paths of inquiry in the shifting geographies of art in the region.
