Summary
In this uniquely wide-ranging book, David Craven investigates the extraordinary impact of three Latin American revolutions on the visual arts and on cultural policy. He discusses the upheavals in Mexico (1910-1940), in Cuba (1959-1989), and in Nicaragua (1979-1990) and assesses their legacies, demonstrating how the revolutions' consequences reverberated in arts and cultures far beyond their own borders. "Beautifully illustrated. . . . Thoroughly documented, well conceived and executed."Latin Americanist "An ambitious book, weaving political, economic, and a broad swath of cultural phenomena into the analysis of works of visual art."Art Journal "[A] wonderfully intricate book on a seldom discussed topic."Library Journal "Destined to become a classic in the field."Arte en Colombia
