Born in London, Mercer was educated in both Ghana and England.

Author: Kobena Mercer. Mercer's essays offer a welcome contrast to art-historical scholarship aimed at the specialist, and also to criticism on the contemporary arts of the African and Asian diasporas. Beautifully marrying theoretical framings through psychoanalysis, sociology, and cultural studies with close readings of specific artists and objects, Mercer offers amazing materialist definitions of diaspora that readers will be mining for years to come. Featuring thematic accounts as well as essays on individual artists and exhibitions from across the globe, this volume represents a vital contribution to aesthetic discourse from a compelling writer whose journeys and reflections over the last two decades have become models of critical engagement.
Mercer's persistent challenge to an equation of the diasporic histories of these artists with any semblance of identity or identity politics is a soaring accomplishment. Bk Cover Image Full. Sign In.

The first thematic and cross-cultural overview of the experiences of migration and displacement that characterize so much of twentieth-century art. Migration, whether freely chosen or forcibly imposed, has been a defining feature of twentieth-century modernity—and much of twentieth-century art. Whether manifested in the striking architectural innovations of Nigerian modernism in the s or postmodern works by Jean-Michel Basquiat and black British filmmakers in the s, the multidirectional appropriation and borrowing described in these essays give us new perspectives on twentieth-century art and modernity. A cross-cultural perspective on the aesthetics and politics of pop art.
