Reviews

""With his roots in the revolutionary foundation of the Third World movement, Rupert García's global perspective is now a legendary part of American art. He takes his place within the context of significant contemporary artists through his powerful graphic complexity, refined image making, and intellectual honesty.""--Amalia Mesa-Bains ""artist, cultural critic, and MacArthur Fellow"" ""Long overdue but worth the wait, this is a critical contribution to U.S. history, American art history, and scholarly intersections in the humanities and social sciences. Offering un gran testimonio of vanguard Chicano artist Rupert García, historian Mario García's book is the model and blueprint for comprehensive examinations of key figures in our shared social struggles and cultural victories.""--Ella Maria Diaz ""author of José Montoya""
