South Asia is famous for its monuments, past and present. Mouments have created, destroyed and resued by competing communities and incoming empires in the making of history, identity and memory. This collection interrogages the legacies and afterlives of the vast diversity of monuments (and conceptions of monuments) in South Asia from the 1850s
South Asia is famous for its monuments, past and present. Monuments have been created, destroyed and rescued by competing communities and incoming empires in the making and re-making of history, identity and memory.

This collection brings together an international cohort of senior scholars and younger researchers to examine the vast diversity of monuments (and conceptions of monuments) in South Asia from the 1850s to the present. The chapters investigate what constitutes a monument, and interrogate the conditions for its survival, demise or recycling. To explore the afterlives of monuments is to investigate how, where, when, and why monuments have been remodelled, re-sited, destroyed, defaced, or abandoned. It is to investigate the theories of memory, history and community, as well as new forms of artistic practice and global media. As different South-Asian communities claim a stake in the making of national, religious, cultural and local identities and histories, the status of monuments and debates about cultural memory have become increasingly urgent.

This book was published as a special issue of South Asian Studies.

Deborah Cherry is Professor of Art History at the University of the Arts London and University of Amsterdam. She has published widely on modern and contemporary art.
