Includes bibliographical references (page 259) and index."This fascinating exhibition book traces the connection between Britain and the Caribbean in the visual arts from the 1950s to today, a social and cultural history more often told through literature or popular music. It celebrates how people from the Caribbean have forged new communities and identities in post-war Britain - and in doing so have transformed British culture and society. ... Arranged chronologically, it sheds light on a number of themes such as Caribbean modernism, social and political struggles, subculture and its policing, the front room as a private and public space, after-images of slavery and the Middle Passage, and syncretic and creolised metaphor and allegory (carnival, folklore, new world religions). Readers will find themselves charting a course between two worlds: London or other urban localities in the UK and images of formerly British Caribbean nations."

Postcolonial modernism : art and decolonization in twentieth-century Nigeria / by Okeke-Agulu, Chika,author.(CARDINAL)292119;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 313-326) and index.Colonialism and the educated Africans -- Indirect rule and colonial modernism -- The academy and the avant-garde -- Transacting the modern: Ulli Beier, Black Orpheus and the Mbari International -- After Zaria -- Contesting the modern: artists' societies and debates on art -- Crisis in the postcolony."Written by one of the foremost scholars of African art and featuring 129 color images, Postcolonial Modernism chronicles the emergence of artistic modernism in Nigeria in the heady years surrounding political independence in 1960, before the outbreak of civil war in 1967. Chika Okeke-Agulu traces the artistic, intellectual, and critical networks in several Nigerian cities. Zaria is particularly important, because it was there, at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology, that a group of students formed the Art Society and inaugurated postcolonial modernism in Nigeria. As Okeke-Agulu explains, their works show both a deep connection with local artistic traditions and the stylistic sophistication that we have come to associate with twentieth-century modernist practices. He explores how these young Nigerian artists were inspired by the rhetoric and ideologies of decolonization and nationalism in the early- and mid-twentieth century and, later, by advocates of negritude and pan-Africanism. They translated the experiences of decolonization into a distinctive "postcolonial modernism" that has continued to inform the work of major Nigerian artists."--Amazon.com.

An eye for the tropics : tourism, photography, and framing the Caribbean picturesque / by Thompson, Krista A.,1972-author.(CARDINAL)302930; Duke University Press,publsiher.(CARDINAL)290492;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 331-348) and index.Introduction: Tropicalization: the aesthetics and politics of space in Jamaica and the Bahamas -- 1. Framing "The New Jamaica": feasting on the picturesque tropical landscape -- 2. Developing the tropics: the politics of the picturesque in the Bahamas -- 3. Through the looking glass: visualizing the sea as icon of the Bahamas -- 4. Diving into the racial waters of beach space in Jamaica: tropical modernity and the Myrtle Bank Hotel's pool -- 5. "I am rendered speechless by your ideal of beauty": the picturesque in history and art in the postcolony -- Epilogue: tropical futures: civilizing citizens and uncivilizing tourists."Images of Jamaica and the Bahamas as tropical paradises full of palm trees, white sandy beaches, and inviting warm water seem timeless. Surprisingly, the origins of those images can be traced back to the roots of the islands' tourism industry in the 1880s. As Krista A. Thompson explains, in the late nineteenth century, tourism promoters, backed by British colonial administrators, began to market Jamaica and the Bahamas as picturesque "tropical" paradises. They hired photographers and artists to create carefully crafted representations, which then circulated internationally via postcards and illustrated guides and lectures. Illustrated with more than one hundred images, including many in color, An Eye for the Tropics is a nuanced evaluation of the aesthetics of the "tropicalizing images" and their effects on Jamaica and the Bahamas. Thompson describes how representations created to project an image to the outside world altered everyday life on the islands. Hoteliers imported tropical plants to make the islands look more like the images. Many prominent tourist-oriented spaces, including hotels and famous beaches, became off-limits to the islands' black populations, who were encouraged to act like the disciplined, loyal colonial subjects depicted in the pictures. Analyzing the work of specific photographers and artists who created tropical representations of Jamaica and the Bahamas between the 1880s and the 1930s, Thompson shows how their images differ from the English picturesque landscape tradition. Turning to the present, she examines how tropicalizing images are deconstructed in works by contemporary artists--including Christopher Cozier, David Bailey, and Irenee Shaw--at the same time that they remain a staple of postcolonial governments' vigorous efforts to attract tourists."--Publisher's website.
