The New Press is proud to publish a new paperback edition of
"Mixed Blessings," the first book to discuss the cross-cultural
process taking place in the work of contemporary Latino, Native,
African, and Asian American artists. Rich with illustrations of
artworks in many different media, and filled with incisive quotes
and unsettling reports, it is more than a book about art; it is a
complex meditation on the relationships of people to their
cultures. Lucy R. Lippard, one of our most original and insightful
writers on art, challenges conventional approaches and explores the
role of images in a changing society. Among her subjects are the
uncertainty of exile; the confusion of identity in attempts to
climb out of the melting pot; and art that speaks for itself,
reversing stereotypes and reclaiming history and memory. The New
Press edition features a new introduction by Lippard that
reconsiders the issues first presented in "Mixed Blessings " when
it appeared in 1990 and evaluates the state of multicultural art
today.
