Reviews
This important compendium surveys and explores in rich detail the history and role of museums as arbiters and advocates for art from the region and in distinct Latin American contexts. It is a must read for scholars, professionals and students of Latin America and its art and cultural politics. - Adriana Zavala, Tufts University Art Museums of Latin America is, without a doubt, a compilation that opens a panorama of study that will allow us to not only learn more about the local processes but also, as the editors posit, to reformulate the role of the regional institution in the context of global museum studies. - Caiana
