520 _a"This anthology collects recent scholarship on modernism which outlines a new decentred history of global modernism in architecture, that is informed by postcolonial theory and its contemporary derivatives such as posthumanism. By both revisiting the canons of modernism and seeking to decolonize and globalize that canon using postcolonial and other related theoretical frameworks it asks, what might a genuinely 'global' history of architectural modernism begin to look like? The chapters explore the weaknesses of normative interpretations of modernism and proposes alternatives to them. It offers essays that interrogate transnationalism in new ways, reconsiders the agency of the subaltern, and the roles played by infrastructures, materials, and global institutions in propagating a diversity of modernisms internationally. Issues such as colonial modernism, architectural pedagogy, cultural imperialism, and spirituality are covered. With essays from both established scholars and up-and-coming researchers, this is an important reference for a new understanding of this crucial topic"--
