Reviews

Villa's work locates artistic production within its proper social and historical contexts without reducing art to an unmediated reflection of unjust social relations... This will be an important book for scholars in Chicano studies, but perhaps even more important as a model for blending cultural texts with their sociological contexts. -George Lipsitz, Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of California, San Diego
