Imaging Migration in Post-War Britain: Artists of Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese Heritage

This book examines the artistic practices of a range of British-based artists of East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese) heritage in order to consider the social, political and cultural effects of migration or diaspora upon their creative production.

Beccy Kennedy-Schtyk demonstrates three themes: the multiplicity and expansive contemporaneity of these artists' visual oeuvres; the physical impact or interpretation of migratory circumstances upon their evolving practices; and the necessity to continue to evolve ways of thinking about migration, race and border crossings in the current political climate of the twenty-first century.

The book will be of interest to scholars studying art history, asian studies, British studies, migration and diaspora studies, and cultural studies.
