"Prasanta Dhar's book is a pioneering contribution examining the global circulation of Marxism and its link to Indian Marxisms and thinking over more than fifty years. Dhar's book seamlessly stitches the global with the local. A unique feature of the book is its illuminating characterization of the difference between the Marxians and the Marxists in Calcutta. The former were closet or academic Marxists who may or may not have been directly involved in realpolitik, whereas the latter were. Finally, this is the first exploration of how Calcutta Marxisms circulated throughout the world , generating debate on modes of production, and giving rise to the school of Subaltern Studies." -Amiya Kumar Bagchi, Emeritus Professor Institute of Development Studies, Kolkata This book examines the global circulation of Marxism seen from one of its most highly charged sites: Calcutta, India. Building on but also revising approaches to global intellectual history, the book presents the circulation through Calcutta as a historically sited problem of mass mediation. Using tools from media studies, the book explores the publics, the technologies and the meanings of Marxism in Calcutta. Demonstrating how the Popular Front was split between the so-called 'people's group' and those whom were called 'intellectuals', the book argues that the people's group generally identified themselves as Marxists and preferred audio-visual media, while the so-called intellectuals privileged academic rigour and print media, usually referring to themselves as Marxians. Thus, the author reveals a polyphony of Marxisms amongst the Popular Front. Tracing Marxism back to the Bengal Renaissance and the Swadeshi and Naxal movements, this book shows how debate around the meaning of 'Marxism' continued throughout the 1970s in Calcutta, and helped to engender the historiographical movement that has come to be known as Subaltern Studies. Prasanta Dhar is a historian of South Asia and has taught at the University of Toronto in Canada.

This is the first global history of dress regulation and its place in broader debates around how human life and societies should be visualised and materialised. Sumptuary laws were a tool on the part of states to regulate not only manufacturing systems and moral economies via the medium of expenditure and consumption of clothing but also banquets, festivities and funerals. Leading scholars on Asian, Latin American, Ottoman and European history shed new light on how and why items of dress became key aspirational goods across society, how they were lobbied for and marketed, and whether or not sumptuary laws were implemented by cities, states and empires to restrict or channel trade and consumption. Their findings reveal the significance of sumptuary laws in medieval and early modern societies as a site of contestation between individuals and states and how dress as an expression of identity developed as a modern 'human right'.

"Jonathan Adeyemi's book has arrived at the right time when the attraction for contemporary "African" art has never been so strong in the market and in the world of international contemporary art. It is appropriate to underscore the relevance of the intellectual project of this pioneering work. The book is an important contribution not only to the socio-economic approach of art markets and art worlds in Nigeria, and more widely, in Africa, but also to the socio-economics of art as a whole. It is also an important contribution to what the sociology of "globalization" should be. - Alain Quemin, Exceptional class professor of sociology of art, GEMASS - Sorbonne Université, Senior Member of Institut Universitaire de France "Given the strong interest in art from the African continent, this is an extremely timely book. Adeyemi offers the reader a new and original account of the evolution of a contemporary art world in Nigeria, and the integration of Nigerian art in the global art system, which is fraught with complexities and tensions for which Nigerian artists are facing an uphill battle. Based on interviews with many of the key players in the Nigerian art world, this book should be on the reading list of scholars interested in contemporary art from the African continent." -Olav Velthuis, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Cultural Sociology Program Group, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands This book brings together from four years of study on Nigerian contemporary art's internationalization. The monograph integrates voices of African (Nigerian) artists and art market players into the growing discourse on the emerging art markets in the global South. It explores the logic of competition and dynamics of power relations in the global markets, focusing on the internationalization of contemporary art forms from peripheral regions. The book confirms that the internationalization of contemporary art form from Nigeria is limited due to systematic marginalization in the artistic field, which in this case based on postcolonialism, and debilitating socio-economic factors such as outmoded art education, unstructured support system and weak mechanism for local validation, and an inefficient political framework for art governance. It will therefore be useful to students and researchers in the sociology of art, art market studies, art history and culture polity. Jonathan Adeyemi recently concluded a Ph.D. in Arts Management and Cultural Policy at Queen's University Belfast. .
