This anthology provides an overview of the history and theory of
Chicano/a art from the 1960s to the present, emphasizing the
debates and vocabularies that have played key roles in its
conceptualization. In Chicano and Chicana Art-which includes many
of Chicano/a art's landmark and foundational texts and
manifestos-artists, curators, and cultural critics trace the
development of Chicano/a art from its early role in the Chicano
civil rights movement to its mainstream acceptance in American art
institutions. Throughout this teaching-oriented volume they address
a number of themes, including the politics of border life, public
art practices such as posters and murals, and feminist and queer
artists' figurations of Chicano/a bodies. They also chart the
multiple cultural and artistic influences-from American graffiti
and Mexican pre-Columbian spirituality to pop art and
modernism-that have informed Chicano/a art's practice.
