The Political Body – Stories on Art, Feminism, and Emancipation in Latin America: Studies on Latin American Art and Latinx Art

"Since the early 1990s, Andrea Giunta has been a pioneer scholar on feminist art in Latin America. In her hands, this book is neither a genealogy nor a History with capital H; instead, in its specificity, it highlights the forms of resistance, denouncement, and emancipative creative imagination by women artists in the context of gender, social, and racial oppression in Latin America. By combining a constellation of microhistories and academic research with Giunta's own first-person voice, the book counters stereotypes, racial discrimination, marginalization, and the invisibilization of women, and instead foregrounds the transformational role of feminist art and politics since the mid-twentieth century."--Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, independent curator and art historian
