How Latinx artists around the US adopted the medium of printmaking
to reclaim the lands of the Americas. Printmakers have conspired,
historically, to illustrate the maps created by European colonizers
that were used to chart and claim their expanding territories. Over
the last three decades, Latinx artists and print studios have
reclaimed this printed art form for their own spatial discourse.
This book examines the limited editions produced at four art
studios around the US that span everything from sly critiques of
Manifest Destiny to printed portraits of Dreamers in Texas.
Reclaiming the Americas is the visual history of Latinx printmaking
in the US. Tatiana Reinoza employs a pan-ethnic comparative model
for this interdisciplinary study of graphic art, drawing on art
history, Latinx studies, and geography in her discussions. The book
contests printmaking's historical complicity in the logics of
colonization and restores the art form and the lands it once
illustrated to the Indigenous, migrant, mestiza/o, and
Afro-descendant people of the Americas.
