Mapping Modernisms:
Colonial and Indigenous Networks of Artistic Exchange and the Dialectics of Discourse will be a publication of essays based on the Ottawa symposium held in 2012. This book places the modern arts of Indigenous and colonized artists from Africa, the Pacific, and North America in dialogue with current narratives of artistic modernism. It problematizes and addresses the silence that surrounds these arts within the emerging literature on multiple modernisms. More broadly, it intervenes in two highly active current scholarly projects: the development of an inclusive ‘world’ art history and the investigation of modernity as a global, historical condition. Edited by Ruth Phillips and Elizabeth Harney.
