SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book describes what an "art of multiculturalism" could be and how in turn multiculturalism could be conceived as a form of art. It focuses on the early and middle work of Indian-born U.S. writer Bharati Mukherjee, in particular on her understanding of the "fusion" of literature and painting as a tool to inspire the creation of a "new global society" by empowering minorities through fostering and multiplying "differences in unity"and "unities in difference". The book includes, in condensed ways, an explanation of Mukherjee' use of ancient Indian painting techniques for postmodern writing; and it provides a short introduction to the relation between multiculturalism, postmodernity and "imaginal politics."
