Summary

Focuses on modernism as a global phenomenon. This work considers modernism as it was expressed in the non-Western world; the contradictions at the heart of modernization; and modernism's imagined geographies, pyschogeographies of distance and desire as viewed by the subaltern, the caste-bound, the racially mixed, and the gender-determined.

Geomodernisms Summary

Geomodernisms: Race, Modernism, Modernity by Laura Doyle

Modernism as a global phenomenon is the focus of the essays gathered in this book. The term geomodernisms indicates their subjects' continuity with and divergence from commonly understood notions of modernism. The contributors consider modernism as it was expressed in the non-Western world; the contradictions at the heart of modernization (in revolutionary and nationalist settings, and with respect to race and nativism); and modernism's imagined geographies, pyschogeographies of distance and desire as viewed by the subaltern, the caste-bound, the racially mixed, the gender-determined.

Geomodernisms Reviews

...Highly recommended.

* Choice *

. . . [these] contributors seek to de-Westernize concepts of modernity and modernism and to give voice to that' domain of the other' that was either appropriated by the European avant-garde for whom 'primitivists are modern while natives are not' . . . or simply regarded as falling altogether outside the modernist paradigm. Vol. 103.1 (Jan. 2008)
