Foregrounding street art in the capital cities of Cuba, Haiti, and
Puerto Rico, this book argues that Antillean street artists
diagnose the "impossible state" of the arrested present (colonized,
occupied, or under dictatorship) while simultaneously imagining
liberated futures and fully sovereign states. Jana Evans Braziel
launches a comparative study of art, politics, history, urban
street cultures, engaged citizenships, and social transformations
in three Antillean capital cities-Havana, Cuba; Port-au-Prince,
Haiti; and San Juan, Puerto Rico-of the Greater Caribbean. The book
includes a photo documentary archive of street art, murals, and
installations by key muralists in these cities: Yulier Rodriguez
Perez, "Jerry" Rosembert Moise, and Colectivo Morivivi (Chachi
Gonzalez Colon, Raysa Rodriguez Garcia, and Salome Cortes). Braziel
offers art historical and geopolitical analyses of the urban street
art in their cities of production, underscoring street art as
political, economic, and environmental engagements (and not as
exclusively aesthetic ones) with urban space and street life. The
book will be of interest to scholars working in art history,
Caribbean studies, Latin American studies, and urban studies.
