"Copublished with the Institute of International Visual Arts, London" "A new wave of art and cultural criticism is emerging in Latin America. The essays in this collection not only represent a serious remapping of art history, but some of them have already been influential in revising our notions of Latin American art and culture." -- Jean Franco, Professor Emeritus, Columbia University "This is not just some of the best Latin American art criticism, but some of the best art criticism tout court." -- Dawn Ades, Professor of Art History, University of Essex This anthology, edited by Cuban art historian and critic Gerardo Mosquera, offers a wide selection of writings by some of the most important cultural theoreticians of contemporary Latin America. Together they comprise a distinctive corpus of new theoretical discourses, critical of modernity and solidly and pragmatically anti-utopian. The collection balances traditional and popular aesthetic-symbolic production as well as Afro- and Indo-American presences in the visual arts, and covers the whole of the Americans, including the Caribbean and the United States.
