Rabindranath Tagore's mysterious faces and India's encounter with modernism / Aida Yuen Wong -- A pedagogy for modernity: Brazilian modernism and Heitor Villa-Lobos revisited / Sandro R. Barros -- Unmasking the journalistic aesthetics of Spanish American modernismo / Andrew Reynolds -- From pre-Columbian masks to the Basque Cromlech: the art of unconcealment through Jorge Oteiza / Elixabete Ansa Goicoechea -- The "colder artifice": Paul Laurence Dunbar, Countee Cullen, and the mask of blackness / Steven A. Nardi -- The emotion as such: un/masking the poet in Mayakovsky's work / Connor Doak -- Complicity: New Zealand's modernization and the postcolonial trickster of Keri Hulme's The Bone People / Bonnie Roos -- Nyoro masquerade as a hunt for modernity: a view from a west African city / Jordan A. Fenton -- Roots reconfigured: contemporary Chinese masks in the flux of modernity / Sylvie Beaud -- Afterword: the slow burn of modernity / Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar.
Summary: This book reconsiders the meaning of modernism across the globe, stretching beyond both the Western modernist canon and the literary-heavy scope of the field to a broader cultural consideration of global modernisms and modernity. Through the use of masks as a thematic focus, the volume challenges popular assumptions about what modernism looks like, what modernity is, and how each of these ideas are produced within a historical moment.
