An updated and expanded edition of this classic, illustrated survey of Caribbean art, featuring the work of over 100 artists from the period of colonialism to the present day.

The Caribbean is made up of more than twenty countries, each with its own identity. Yet fascinatingly, there are significant cultural commonalities despite geographic, ethnic, linguistic, and political diversity. A mixture of African, Amerindian, Asian, and European origins define the remarkable Caribbean culture, which, from the period of colonialism to the present, has also witnessed a massive diaspora.

Caribbean Art examines the diverse and highly accomplished work of Caribbean artists, whether indigenous or from the diaspora, popular or “high” culture, rural or urban based, politically radical or religious. This expanded edition with a new preface has been updated to reflect and address fundamental challenges to traditional art-historical practice and its foundational connections to histories of colonialism, Eurocentricity, and race. This is explored further in two new chapters focused on public monuments linked to the history of the Caribbean, and the intersections between art and tourism, raising important questions about cultural representation.

Caribbean Art features the work of internationally recognized artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Sonia Boyce, Christopher Cozier, Wifredo Lam, Ana Mendieta, Ebony G. Patterson, Hervé Télémaque, and more than one hundred others, working across a variety of media including performance, photography, and film. This new edition makes an important contribution to the understanding of Caribbean and postcolonial art and its context, in ways that invite productive conversation and encourage further explorations on the subject.

这本经典的加勒比艺术调查报告的更新和扩展版，介绍了从殖民主义时期到今天的100多位艺术家的作品。

加勒比地区由20多个国家组成，每个国家都有自己的特点。然而有趣的是，尽管地理、种族、语言和政治上的多样性，却存在着重要的文化共性。非洲、美洲印第安人、亚洲和欧洲血统的混合构成了**的加勒比文化，从殖民主义时期到现在，它也见证了大规模的移民。

《加勒比艺术》研究了加勒比艺术家的多样化和高成就的作品，无论是本土的还是流散在外的，流行的还是高雅的，农村的还是城市的，激进的还是宗教的。这个带有新序言的扩展版已经更新，以反映和解决对传统艺术史实践的根本挑战，以及它与殖民主义、欧洲中心主义和种族历史的基础性联系。在两个新的章节中，进一步探讨了与加勒比海历史相关的公共纪念碑，以及艺术与旅游之间的交集，提出了关于文化代表性的重要问题。

本书收录了国际知名艺术家的作品，如让-米歇尔·巴斯奇亚（Jean-Michel Basquiat）、索尼娅·博伊斯（Sonia Boyce）、克里斯托弗·科兹尔（Christopher Cozier）、维夫里多·拉姆（Wifredo Lam）、安娜·曼迪塔（Ana Mendieta）、埃博尼·G·帕特森（Ebony G. Patterson）、埃尔韦·特莱马克（Hervé Télémaque）等一百多位艺术家的作品，作品涉及表演、摄影和电影等多种媒介。这个新版本对理解加勒比和后殖民艺术及其背景做出了重要贡献，收录了富有成效的对话并鼓励进一步探索此主题。
