Annotating Art's Histories: cross-cultural perspectives in the visual arts, Editors: Mercer, Kobena, Published by: Iniva
Art history has been transformed in recent years by the arrival of fresh questions about the creative dynamics of cultural difference in the visual arts. This series casts new light on key topics in 20th century art by exploring interactions between artists from culturally-diverse backgrounds and western art movements. Including new essays by internationally respected writers, these four books are essential reading for all those curious about cross-cultural interaction in the visual arts.

1) Cosmopolitan Modernisms (2005)
A unique collection that reveals the dynamic interplay between different cultures as a constant and critical aspect of modernism
2) Discrepant Abstraction (2006)
Exploring the intercultural exchanges that redefine our understanding of 20th-century abstract art
3) Pop Art and Vernacular Cultures (2007)
Cross-cultural perspectives on the aesthetics and politics of pop art
4) Exiles, Diasporas & Strangers (2008)
A thematic overview of the critical roles estrangement and displacement play in the story of 20th-century art
