The organization of the book moves chronologically taking a conceptual and thematic framework. This collection provides a spectrum of object‑ased case studies of artistic production-bjects and object‑ypes-rom six continents between the 1400s and 1800s. Contributions take an art historical approach characterized by a close analysis of form function and meaning with a particular focus on questions of cross‑ultural dialog and provenance. Additionally there is an emphasis on material culture. The book will interest scholars working in African diaspora studies art history visual culture material culture Indigenous studies Renaissance studies musicology early modern studies decolonial studies and race and racism studies. |The Routledge Companion to Race in Early Modern Artistic Material and Visual Production | Visual Studies
