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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Maoism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution was a global phenomenon.

BARBARA MITTLER, CENTRE FOR ASIAN AND TRANSCULTURAL STUDIES, HEIDELBERG UNIVERSITY This collection offers a rich survey of the worldwide influence of Maoism on artistic practices since 1945. The chapters, written by an international group of scholars, cover regions as diverse as Singapore, Madrid, Lima and Maputo. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, they move beyond common stereotypes and misconceptions, allowing for comparisons between dissonant social and political contexts rarely associated in the history of art. Together they account for local, regional and national differences and similarities in the reception, adoption and dissemination of - or resistance to - Maoist aesthetics. The book establishes that the chameleonic appearances of global Maoism deserve a more prominent place in the study of art history. It will be of great value to undergraduate and graduate students, and will also be of interest to scholars working in adjacent fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Maoism and the Chinese Cultural Revolution was a global phenomenon.
