 | Imaging Migration in Post-War Britain: Artists of Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese Heritage Subjects: Arts; Area Studies; Humanities; Politics & International Relations; Social Sciences; Asian Studies; British Studies; Art & Visual Culture; History; International Relations; Sociology & Social Policy; History of Art; Regional Art; British History; Asian History; Imperial & Colonial History; Migration & Diaspora; Race & Ethnic Studies; This book examines the artistic practices of a range of British-based artists of East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese) heritage to consider the social, political and cultural effects of migration or diaspora on their creative production. Beccy Kennedy-Schtyk demonstrates three themes: the multiplicity and expansive contemporaneity of these artists' visual oeuvres; the physical impact or interpretation of migratory circumstances on their artistic practices; and the necessity to continue to evolve ways of thinking about migration, race and border crossings in the current political climate of the 21st century. The book will be of interest to scholars studying art history, Asian studies, British studies, migration and diaspora studies, and cultural studies. Beccy Kennedy-Schtyk is a senior lecturer in Art History and Curating at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University. |
