Description

This first volume of the Critical Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art series published by the International Center for the Arts of the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts; Houston; presents 168 crucial texts written by influential artists; critics; curators; journalists; and intellectuals whose writings shed light on questions relating to what it means to be "Latin American" and/or "Latino."Reinforced within a critical framework; the documents address converging issues; including: the construct of "Latin-ness" itself; the persistent longing for a continental identity; notions of Panndash;Latin Americanism; the emergence of collections and exhibitions devoted specifically to "Latin Americanrdquo; or "Latino" art; and multicultural critiques of Latin American and Latino essentialism. The selected documents; many of which have never before been published in English; span from the late fifteenth century to the present day. They encompass key protagonists of this comprehensive history as well as unfamiliar figures; revealing previously unknown facets of the questions and issues at play. The book series complements the thousands of seminal documents now available through the ICAA Documents of 20th-Century Latin American and Latino Art digital archive; http://icaadocs.mfah.org. Together they establish a much-needed intellectual foundation for the exhibition; collection; and interpretation of art produced in Latin America and among Latino populations in the United States.
