(Critical Studies in Latin American and Iberian Culture Series). Academic Press Paperback. Among the few (and rarely up-to-date) books that seriously address the arts in Latin America, this is especially interesting because of its interdisciplinary approach. The authors examine some key issues affecting artistic production, among them geography and changing borders, politics, the colonial past, race, and sexism. This is not an introductory text for general readers, instead offering discussions of artists and their cultural climate that are likely to spark new ideas for further research. This book brings modern Latin American art to a more richly developed point than Gilbert Chase's basic monograph "Contemporary Art in Latin America" which was published in1969.
