A World Art History And Its Objects/by David Carrier (Author) .Is writing a world art history possible? Does the history of art as such even exist 
outside the Western tradition? Is it possible to consider the history of art in a way that is not fundamentally Eurocentric? In this highly readable 
and provocative book, David Carrier, a philosopher and art historian, does not attempt to write a world art history himself. 
Rather, he asks the question of how an art history of all cultures could be written - or whether it is even possible to do so. He also engages the 
politicaland moral issues raised by the idea of a multicultural art history. Focusing on a consideration of intersecting artistic traditions, 
Carrier negotiates the way meaning and understanding shift or are altered when a visual object from one culture, for example, is inserted into the 
visual tradition of another culture. "A World Art History and Its Objects" proposes the use of temporal narrative as a way to begin to understand
a multicultural art history.
