By emphasizing cultural mobility as a catalyst for exchange and network building, this book challenges and complicates assumptions about Cold War binaries of East and West and the polarization between so-called totalitarian regimes and free cultures. Positioning Prague as a nexus where South-Asian modernisms intersected with multiple peoples, histories, and ideologies in the post-World War II era, it offers a narrative of decolonization that rejected rigid systemic alignment in favor of participation across blocs by prioritizing migratory aesthetics over nationalist parochialism. Well-researched and rich in archival materials, this book proposes new ways of writing art histories and makes a significant contribution to both Cold War studies and critical global modernism studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEbook available in Open Access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simone Wille\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462704708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462704701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Simone Wille","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419662369023,"sku":"9789462704701","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f604aaa7-8949-43d0-9818-0041c1078dd8.jpg?v=1761513033","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cold-war-art-worlds-simone-wille-9789462704701","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
