Description
"Such a brief overview cannot do the essays in this collection justice. Amply illustrated and nicely organised, the collected essays represent some of the most innovative work being done in the field of visual culture in Latin America. Of particular value is the range of theoretical interests and perspectives brought to bear on visual culture by the contributors. This is theoretical and disciplinary eclecticism at its best. Each essay is refreshing and original and there is little redundancy despite the length of the book…For scholars working on visual culture, the state and cultural history, this is an essential volume." -Journal of Latin American Studies
