Mediterranean modernism : intercultural exchange and aesthetic development / Adam J. Goldwyn, Renée M. Silverman, editors - New York : Palgrave Macmillan, cop. 2016 - (IX-373 p.) - Mediterranean perspectives .

This book explores how Modernist movements all across the Mediterranean basin differed from those of other regions. The chapters show how the political and economic turmoil of a period marked by world war, revolution, decolonization, nationalism, and the rapid advance of new technologies compelled artists, writers, and other intellectuals to create a new hybrid Mediterranean Modernist aesthetic which sought to balance the tensions between local and foreign, tradition and innovation, and colonial and postcolonial.
