From the beginnings of the colonization of the United States,
Latino art - including theater, film, music, dance, painting,
sculpture, and other modes of artistic expression - has been a
creative and physical presence in the Southwest, southern Florida,
and much of California - a presence that now reaches every part of
the United States. Despite this, Latino artists have often fought
against negative stereotypes and discrimination, from the silver
screen to the art studio, sometimes opting to change their names so
as not to draw attention to their Latino roots. However, numerous
Latino artists - such as actress and producer Salma Hayek and
singer Gloria Estefan - have been able to use their talents and
prestige in order to promote projects that focus on and promote
Latino culture, concerns, and history. ""Latinos in the Arts""
traces the accomplishments of 178 performing and visual artists.
Whether an individual was born in the United States or emigrated
from such countries as Mexico, Cuba, Spain, or numerous other
Central and South American nations, each Latino profiled has made
significant contributions to art in the United States. Although the
geographical diversity among Latino artists is great, certain
themes, such as religious imagery and the struggle for social
justice, often appear and reappear in these artists' creative
works. A bibliography directs the reader to sources for further
information about Latino Americans and the arts. One subject index
divides entries by area of expertise, such as cartoonist and
printmaker. Additional indexes also organize subjects by the decade
of their birth and by their ethnicity or country of origin. Many
black-and-white photographs of the artists, often in the midst of
their craft, enhance the text throughout this insightful volume.
