Editors Paul Wood and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear in English for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe anthologized texts are presented in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly, as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though the book’s unique selling point is the way it relates the modern globalization of art to much longer cultural histories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs well as the anthologized material, \u003ci\u003eArt in Theory: The West in the World\u003c\/i\u003e contains:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA general introduction discussing the scope of the collection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroductory essays to each of the eight parts, outlining the main themes in their historical contexts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIndividual introductions to each text, explaining how they relate to the wider theoretical and political currents of their time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntended for a wide audience, the book is essential reading for students on courses in art and art history.
