The post-colonial world has seen a major re-evaluation of the
insititutions and ideologies of colonialism. Post-colonial theory
has enriched our understanding of the history and literature of
colonial periods. With reference to this trend, this collection
examines the artistic production of both imperial nations and their
colonies and aims to show how it was affected by colonial contact.
Drawing together an international group of scholars from a variety
of disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, it presents case studies
of objects from India, Pakistan, New Zealand, China and Africa
which were collected by or exhibited in the institutions of the
British Empire. Other chapters address issues of racial identity
across cultural barriers and the hybrid styles which can emerge
when cultures meet. The contributors also consider how we, in the
post-colonial era, should interpret the cultural production of the
colonial world and how through displaying these objects,
contemporary museum practice can address the artistic inheritance
of colonialism.
