Beyond Boundaries – Seeing Art History from the Caribbean - Wayne Modest, Aldeide Delgado, Anna Arabindan–kesso

An examination of how engagement with the nuances of Caribbean intellectual thought could reshape art history   Despite its rich cultural and intellectual heritage, the Caribbean region has often been excluded from art history—along with essential discussions ranging from plantation life and antislavery movements to decolonization and transculturation. Beyond Boundaries: Seeing Art History from the Caribbean explores why the field has been slow to embrace Caribbean intellectual history and advocates for an approach that acknowledges the multidisciplinary and multilingual nature of the region’s voices. By reevaluating existing interpretive methodologies, the authors show how a broader engagement with Caribbean perspectives can benefit art history, reshaping the discourse and creating a more inclusive and dynamic field.   Distributed for the Clark Art Institute Â
