“Making an important contribution to the fields of art history and cultural studies, this volume constitutes a groundbreaking study of the varied and wide-ranging visual art and aesthetics of Nuyorican and Diasporican communities. This unique and much-needed book challenges the elitism and racism that continues to characterize the art world and demonstrates that art-historical accounts of American and contemporary art that ignore or obscure the contributions of Nuyorican/Diasporican artists are incomplete and uninformed.” —Adriana Zavala
