| book description |

Today Is Always Yesterday explores the historical constructs underlying contemporary art in Brazil. Through his study of the South American nationâ€™s colonial and post-colonial condition, Michael Asbury argues that art can not only illustrate history but activate it. The colours of the flag, a national emblem saturated with symbolism and which has become central to the culture wars of recent years, become devices to thematically structure the five chapters of the book. Asbury shows how artists have responded to cultural engagements and appropriations, and examines artâ€™s role in unravelling Brazilâ€™s foundational myths and its projected image as a racial melting pot. Richly illustrated, this book presents a compelling account of contemporary debates in Brazilian art.
