“Bringing together a number of essays that are often quoted within Chicano studies with those that are not readily available, this volume gives readers a full sense of Chicano visual studies as a field of study in its own right. A truly impressive collection.”
“The editors have assembled leading scholars and historic essays to unpack the generative force of the Chicana/o art movement. The essays are organized by themes and historic benchmarks; they consider everything from cultural reclamation to political action and even invite readers to imagine what a ‘post-movimiento’ future might look like. A must-have for anyone wishing to learn the history of Chicana/o art, particularly at a time when questions of immigration and assimilation continue to fuel political debate.”
