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?s use of ancient Indian painting techniques for postmodern writing; and it provides a short introduction to the relation between multiculturalism, postmodernity and ?imaginal politics?. The book is written in an easy to read style accessible to all interested in the topic: high school and university students and teachers; those generally interested in the interface between literature, the arts and politics; and specialists in multicultural studies and global and international studies. The book is particularly suited to use in teaching. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Sociology,$x2212-6368 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aSociology 606 $aPostmodernism 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 606 $aPostmodern Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E45000 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aPostmodernism. 615 14$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aSociology, general. 615 24$aPostmodern Philosophy. 676 $a813.54 700 $aBenedikter$b Roland$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0174759 702 $aHilber$b Judith$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300572403321 996 $aThe Art of Multiculturalism$92000073 997 $aUNINA
