Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume challenges existing notions of what is "Indian," "Southeast Asian," and/or "South Asian" art to help educators present a more contextualized understanding of art in a globalized world. In doing so, it (re)examines how South or Southeast Asian art is being made, exhibited, circulated and experienced in new ways in the United States or in regions under its cultural hegemony. The essays presented in this book examine both historical and contemporary transformations or lived experiences of monuments and regional styles (sites) from South or Southeast Asian art in art making, subsequent usage, and exhibition-making under the rubric of "Indian," "South Asian," "or "Southeast Asian" Art.
