Imaging Migration in Post-War Britain e-bog

This book examines the artistic practices of a range of British-based artists of East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese) heritage to consider the social, political and cultural effects of migration or diaspora on their creative production.Beccy Kennedy-Schtyk demonstrates three themes: the multiplicity and expansive contemporaneity of these artists' visual oeuvres; the physical impact or interpretation of migratory circumstances on their artistic practices; and the necessity to continue to evolve ways of thinking about migration, race and border crossings in the current political climate of the 21st century.The book will be of interest to scholars studying art history, Asian studies, British studies, migration and diaspora studies, and cultural studies.
