This second edition offers an expanded treatment of indigenous visual expression created in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Author Lynn Mackenzie has build a foundation for understanding the context and aesthetics of art forms ordinarily addressed in specialty texts and advanced art history courses

Emphasizing a global perspective, Mackenzie covers representative examples of African, Indian, Southeast Asian, Chinese, Japanese and Oceanic art, along with Andean, Mesoamerican and Native North American traditions. In addition, Non-Western Art constructs a pedagogical framework to support a fast-paced, concentrated approach. Additional support for teaching and learning has been included through:

• Study and discussion questions at the end of each chapter
• Additional material on each region, including expanded bibliographies to encourage student research and further reading
• A glossary that includes general art terms as well as terms specific to the study of Non-Western material
• General regional maps for each of the nine global regions discussed in the book
