Sometimes He Was Lord, The Adventures and Misadventures of Billie,
reveals the strength, wisdom, compassion, and character of a woman
finding herself during the Great Depression. Told in her own words,
Billie shares memories of growing up pulling cotton bolls, putting
none too few suitors in their place, meeting Jimmy, the love of her
life, and raising her beautiful daughter. This amazing woman's
strong sense of independence uncharacteristic to the time paints a
picture of a spunky, God-fearing individual who simply expects
people to live right.
How can we reconfigure our picture of modern art after the
postcolonial turn without simply adding regional art histories to
the Eurocentric canon? Transmodern examines the global dimension of
modern art by tracing the crossroads of different modernisms in
Asia, Europe and the Americas. Featuring case studies in Indian
modernism, the Harlem Renaissance and post-war abstraction, it
demonstrates the significance of transcultural contacts between
artists from both sides of the colonial divide. The book argues for
the need to study non-western avant-gardes and Black avant-gardes
within the west as transmodern counter-currents to mainstream
modernism. It situates transcultural art practices from the 1920s
to the 1960s within the framework of anti-colonial movements and in
relation to contemporary transcultural thinking that challenged
colonial concepts of race and culture with notions of syncretism
and hybridity. -- .
