This book calls for a re-imagining of global picture book history:
with the former Soviet Union at the centre of this narrative web.
The result of an unusual collaboration between India and Lithuania,
the book looks at two different global impacts of the Soviet
picture book enterprise. At a particular period in Indian history,
cheaply available Soviet picture books, in English and vernacular
translations, changed the way Indian children read. This was part
of the Soviet Union's efforts to spread 'socialist' culture across
the world. Meanwhile, a different and more problematic kind of
cultural 'globalization' was underway in the regions governed by
the Soviet State, and Lithuania is a rich case in point.A sumptuous
and unusual archive of art has been mined to go with this history:
from socialist realist art to classic examples of the Lithuanian
primitive-modern, many of the images in the book are featured in an
English language publication for the first time.
