Recenzii
Unsettled Visions is an engaging and extremely significant book beyond the fact that it is the first study to examine Asian American visual productions in a systematic way. It sets a high standard, and will be the model for works that follow. Gary Y. Okihiro, author of The Columbia Guide to Asian American HistoryFor years, Margo Machida was practically the only person to bring Asian American artists into what were then the multicultural debates, and the only writer/participant to cover their activities and art with a high degree of social vision and intellectual passion. With Unsettled Visions, she has produced a work of amazing breadth, positioning each artists work in an internationally historical, political, and theoretical context that considerably deepens my own understanding of art I have been familiar with for years.Lucy R. Lippard, author of Mixed Blessings: New Art in a Multicultural AmericaUnsettled Visions is an engaging and extremely significant book beyond the fact that it is the first study to examine Asian American visual productions in a systematic way. It sets a high standard and will be the model for works that follow.Gary Y. Okihiro, author of The Columbia Guide to Asian American HistoryThis is a foundational text for appreciating and interpreting contemporary Asian American art. It is an intelligent and intelligible work built on many years of dedicated research and original thinking. Margo Machida has obviously been inspired by deep encounters with the art emanating from this marvelously complex demographic. Unsettled Visions has set the standard for the field.Franklin Odo, Director, Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Program

It sets a high standard, and will be the model for works that follow." Gary Y. Okihiro, author of The Columbia Guide to Asian American History "For years, Margo Machida was practically the only person to bring Asian American artists into what were then the 'multicultural' debates, and the only writer/participant to cover their activities and art with a high degree of social vision and intellectual passion.
