This book explores the work and careers of women, trans, and third-gender artists engaged in political activism. While some artists negotiated their own political status in their indigenous communities, others responded to global issues of military dictatorship, racial discrimination, or masculine privilege in regions other than their own. Women, trans, and third-gender artists continue to highlight and challenge the disturbing legacies of colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, communism, and other political ideologies that are correlated with patriarchy, primogeniture, sexism, or misogyny. The book argues that solidarity among such artists remains valuable and empowering for those who still seek legitimate recognition in art schools, cultural institutions, and the history curriculum.

This volume challenges existing notions of what is ¿Indian,¿ ¿Southeast Asian,¿ and/or ¿South Asian¿ art to help educators present a more contextualized understanding of art in a globalized world. In doing so, it (re)examines how South or Southeast Asian art is being made, exhibited, circulated and experienced in new ways in the United States or in regions under its cultural hegemony. The essays presented in this book examine both historical and contemporary transformations or lived experiences of monuments and regional styles (sites) from South or Southeast Asian art in art making, subsequent usage, and exhibition-making under the rubric of ¿Indian,¿ ¿South Asian,¿ ¿or ¿Southeast Asian¿ Art.

This book is based on the conference held at the Charles B. Wang Center, Stony Brook University on March 24-25, 2017. "Documenting Korean Costume: Primary Sources and New Interpretations" have invited eleven scholars of dress history and fashion studies to discuss function and meaning of primary sources in Korean dress history. The legacy of Korean dress, as seen in archaeological findings and museum artifacts, is analyzed in comparison to the dress and fashions of other Asian countries. Korean dress and accessories have evolved into varied forms in modern times. Historians and prominent practitioners of dress-making and jewelry crafting present modern applications of centuries-old traditions of Korean dress in contemporary arts and designs. These leading experts also discuss the development of Korean dress and highlight how it is deeply related to political and economic aspects of Korean history.
