“The articles in this handsome volume reflect the broad range of research interests, issues and methodologies pursued within the Historians of Islamic Art Association community and highlight current, innovative developments in the study of Islamic material culture and the visual arts. In the aggregate they also offer multiple perspectives on the concept of ‘regime change’: historical, typological, technological, and—most intriguingly—metaphorical and symbolic.”

Dr. Marianna Shreve Simpson, Past President (2011-13), Historians of Islamic Art Association

“The articles in this volume amply fulfil the promise of its title. They exemplify the recent expansion of Islamic art into previously underresearched areas such as southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the conceptual exploration of new fields of sensory and auditory matters, and temporal extension into the twentieth century. The shift to looser definitional boundaries is much to be welcomed.”
 

Prof. Bernard O’Kane, The American University in Cairo

"Beautifully produced. . . The strength of Regime Change is that it pulls together scholarship on diverse subjects without losing the sense of overall cohesion. . . . It is refreshing to read a volume about Islamic art which is pushing forward contemporary academic discourses at the same time as enriching our understanding of art."
