The essays and artworks gathered in this volume examine the visual
manifestations of postcolonial struggles in art in East and
Southeast Asia, as the world transitioned from the
communist/capitalist ideological divide into the new global power
structure under neoliberalism that started taking shape during the
Cold War. The contributors to this volume investigate the visual
art that emerged in Australia, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Korea,
Okinawa, and the Philippines. With their critical views and new
approaches, the scholars and curators examine how visual art from
postcolonial countries deviated from the communist/capitalist
dichotomy to explore issues of identity, environment, rapid
commercialization of art, and independence. These foci offer
windows into some lesser-known aspects of the Cold War, including
humanistic responses to the neo-imperial exploitations of people
and resources as capitalism transformed into its most aggressive
form. Given its unique approach, this seminal study will be of
great value to scholars of 20th-century East Asian and Southeast
Asian art history and visual and cultural studies.
