Can anyone truly own a culture? This magnificent account argues that the story of global civilizations is one of mixing, sharing, and borrowing. It demonstrates how art forms have crisscrossed continents over centuries to produce masterpieces. From Nefertiti's lost city and the Islamic Golden Age to twentieth-century Nigerian theater and Modernist poetry, Martin Puchner explores how contact between different peoples has driven artistic innovation in every era—while cultural policing and purism have more often undermined the very societies they tried to protect. Traveling through Classical Greece, Ashoka's India, the Tang dynasty China, and many other epochs, this triumphal new history reveals the crossing points that have not only inspired the humanities but have made us human.
