'A new wave of art and cultural criticism is emerging in Latin America. The essays in this collection not only represent a serious remapping of art history but some of them have already been influential in revising notions of Latin American art and culture.' Jean Franco - Professor Emerita, Columbia University

'The strength on the international stage of Latin American art has been recognised for some time, but there is a quantity of vital critical writing from within Latin America that equally needs exposure. An anthology like this is long overdue. It is important not just because of its subtle and reflective insights into Latin American art and culture, but because of its bearing on multicultural issues of crucial significance to us all. This is not just some of the best Latin American art criticism, but some of the best art criticism tout court.' Dawn Ades - Professor of Art History, University of Essex
