- This monograph offers a substantial contribution to the history of Indian modernism in the colonial and postcolonial eras, analysing artistic production at pivotal moments of violence, violation and conflict. The argument develops over a series of case studies, each of which is the first chapter-length treatment of its subject in the field. It is based on extensive original research and a meticulous engagement with the visual archives of India, combining political history with aesthetics. Staging a decisive encounter between theorists of European modernity, subaltern historiographers, and postcolonial thinkers, it contributes to fields including colonial history and art history.
