production of art and the politics of

of cultural production to be more inclusive
in their understanding of what constitutes
validated art.” —Luis Fraga,
Director, Stanford Center for Chicano Research
“Mesa-Bains’ work conveys a sense of
the epochal sweep of Latin American

“[bell hooks is] one of the foremost black
intellectuals in America today.”—Publishers Weekly
“Amalia Mesa-Bains' installations transform
the spaces they occupy into places
of mystery and investigation…she examines

contemporary dilemmas of the Latino
community.”—Art in America
