Partisan Aesthetics: Modern Art and India's Long Decolonization

About this book

Sanjukta SunderasonFew pages for You Partisan Aesthetics explores art's entanglements with histories of war, famine, mass politics, and displacements that marked late-colonial and postcolonial India. Introducing 'partisan aesthetics' as a conceptual grid, the book identifies ways in which art became political through interactions with left-wing activism during the 1940s and its afterlives in post-independence India.
