Over the last three decades, Latinx artists and print studios have reclaimed this printed art form for their own spatial discourse. This book examines the limited editions produced at four art studios around the US that span everything from sly critiques of Manifest Destiny to printed portraits of Dreamers in Texas. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReclaiming the Americas\u003c\/i\u003e is the visual history of Latinx printmaking in the US. Tatiana Reinoza employs a pan-ethnic comparative model for this interdisciplinary study of graphic art, drawing on art history, Latinx studies, and geography in her discussions. The book contests printmaking's historical complicity in the logics of colonization and restores the art form and the lands it once illustrated to the Indigenous, migrant, mestiza\/o, and Afro-descendant people of the Americas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tatiana Reinoza is an assistant professor of art history at the University of Notre Dame. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521643548946,"sku":"9781477326909","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_630baf97-9dad-4b89-af98-923ac3451d2f.jpg?v=1731109930","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/reclaiming-the-americas-latinx-art-and-the-politics-of-territory-9781477326909","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
