This is the first book to explore the global influence of Maoism on
modern and contemporary art. Featuring eighteen original essays
written by established and emerging scholars from around the world,
and illustrated with fascinating images not widely known in the
west, the volume demonstrates the significance of visuality in
understanding the protean nature of this powerful worldwide
revolutionary movement. Contributions address regions as diverse as
Singapore, Madrid, Lima and Maputo, moving beyond stereotypes and
misconceptions of Mao Zedong Thought's influence on art to deliver
a survey of the social and political contexts of this international
phenomenon. At the same time, the book attends to the the
similarities and differences between each case study. It
demonstrates that the chameleonic appearances of global Maoism
deserve a more prominent place in the art history of both the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. -- .
