Beyond the Pink Tide – Art and Politics in the Americas: American Studies Now: Critical Histories of the Present

"Beyond the lenses of dictatorships, revolutions, nation-states, beyond area studies and contained geographies, Macarena Gómez-Barris argues for submerged politics, flows of knowledge, and archipelagic understandings of the present. Deconstructing the Pink Tide's imbrication in extractivism, debt, and social normativity, she turns to contemporary forms of artistic activism that imagine other worlds."--Licia Fiol-Matta, author of The Great Woman Singer: Gender and Voice in Puerto Rican Music

"With laser-sharp writing, Macarena Gómez-Barris provides a luminous and penetrating analysis of recent artistic and activist efforts across the Americas, with an emphasis on political music, film, performance, and visual art. Beyond the Pink Tide is a timely and compelling book that should be read by anyone seeking critical hope around questions of queer justice, feminist justice, anticapitalist justice, and Indigenous justice."--Julia Bryan-Wilson, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art, University of California, Berkeley
