By emphasising cultural mobility as a catalyst for exchange and network building, this book challenges and complicates assumptions about Cold War binaries of East and West and the polarisation between so-called totalitarian regimes and free cultures. Positioning Prague as a nexus where South-Asian modernisms intersected with multiple peoples, histories, and ideologies in the post-World War II era, it offers a narrative of decolonisation that rejected rigid systemic alignment in favour of participation across blocs by prioritising migratory aesthetics over nationalist parochialism. Well-researched and rich in archival materials, this book proposes new ways of writing art histories and makes a significant contribution to both Cold War studies and critical global modernism studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54465533378904,"sku":"9789462704701","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9789462704701_e08c4727-795a-4748-866d-c9cc7bb16755.jpg?v=1771661719","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cold-war-art-worlds","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
