Modernism as a global phenomenon is the focus of the essays gathered inthis book. The term "geomodernisms" indicates their subjects' continuitywith and divergence from commonly understood notions of modernism. The contributorsconsider modernism as it was expressed in the non-Western world, the contradictionsat the heart of modernization (in revolutionary and nationalist settings, and withrespect to race and nativism), and modernism's imagined geographies, "pyschogeographies" of distance and desire as viewed by the subaltern, thecaste-bound, the racially mixed, the gender-determined.
