Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some Hispanic Americans living today can recall a time when barrio or ranch life was marked by a simplicity and neighborliness that has vanished with progress. These thirteen first-person accounts of southern Arizona residents capture a spirit evocative of the Hispanic presence in the Southwest—whether in San Antonio, Santa Fe, Pueblo, or Los Angeles—while striking photographs reflect the grace and dignity of these indomitable individuals.

Book Louis Carlos Bernal s Barrios

Download or read book Louis Carlos Bernal s Barrios written by Charlie P. Coffey and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1978, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund commissioned five photographers to document Mexican American life in the American Southwest for an exhibition titled "ESPEJO". Unlike other photographers included in the project, Louis Carlos Bernal turned his camera toward the domestic sphere, creating intimate, colorful documents of both people and interiors in the Mexican American communities of his native Arizona. This thesis examines how the political beliefs and strategies of the historical Chicano movement informed Bernal's Barrios series. I argue that-through their portrayal of the home and its manifestations of cultural identity-the photographs reflect claims for Mexican American land ownership in the Southwest, an idea that was championed during the movement. While deeply informed about the historical Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which the "ESPEJO" project was a result of, Bernal avoided straightforward portrayals of Chicanx activism or struggle in his Barrios series. In this way, the series sought to define the legacy of the Chicano movement by picturing a Southwest wherein the movement's goals had been realized.

Book Chicana and Chicano Art

    Book Details:
  • Author : Carlos Francisco Jackson
  • Publisher : University of Arizona Press
  • Release : 2009-02-14
  • ISBN : 0816546045
  • Pages : 245 pages

Download or read book Chicana and Chicano Art written by Carlos Francisco Jackson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2009-02-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book solely dedicated to the history, development, and present-day flowering of Chicana and Chicano visual arts. It offers readers an opportunity to understand and appreciate Chicana/o art from its beginnings in the 1960s, its relationship to the Chicana/o Movement and its leading artists, themes, current directions, and cultural impacts. Although the word “Chicano” once held negative connotations, students—along with civil rights activists and artists—adopted it in the late 1960s in order to reimagine and redefine what it meant to be Mexican American in the United States. Chicanismo is the ideology and spirit behind the Chicano Movement and Chicanismo unites the artists whose work is revealed and celebrated in this book. Jackson’s scope is wide. He includes paintings, prints, murals, altars, sculptures, and photographs—and, of course, the artists who created them. Beginning with key influences, he describes the importance of poster and mural art, focusing on the work of the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada and the significance of Mexican and Cuban talleres (print workshops). He examines the importance of art collectives in the United States, as well as Chicano talleres and community art centers, for the growth of the Chicano art movement. In conclusion, he considers how Chicano art has been presented to the general American public. As Jackson shows, the visual arts have both reflected and created Chicano culture in the United States. For college students—and for all readers who want to learn more about this fascinating subject—his book is an ideal introduction to an art movement with a social conscience.

Book La Calle

    Book Details:
  • Author : Lydia R. Otero
  • Publisher : University of Arizona Press
  • Release : 2016-10-01
  • ISBN : 0816534918
  • Pages : 289 pages

Download or read book La Calle written by Lydia R. Otero and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 1, 1966, the voters of Tucson approved the Pueblo Center Redevelopment Project—Arizona’s first major urban renewal project—which targeted the most densely populated eighty acres in the state. For close to one hundred years, tucsonenses had created their own spatial reality in the historical, predominantly Mexican American heart of the city, an area most called “la calle.” Here, amid small retail and service shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues, they openly lived and celebrated their culture. To make way for the Pueblo Center’s new buildings, city officials proceeded to displace la calle’s residents and to demolish their ethnically diverse neighborhoods, which, contends Lydia Otero, challenged the spatial and cultural assumptions of postwar modernity, suburbia, and urban planning. Otero examines conflicting claims to urban space, place, and history as advanced by two opposing historic preservationist groups: the La Placita Committee and the Tucson Heritage Foundation. She gives voice to those who lived in, experienced, or remembered this contested area, and analyzes the historical narratives promoted by Anglo American elites in the service of tourism and cultural dominance. La Calle explores the forces behind the mass displacement: an unrelenting desire for order, a local economy increasingly dependent on tourism, and the pivotal power of federal housing policies. To understand how urban renewal resulted in the spatial reconfiguration of downtown Tucson, Otero draws on scholarship from a wide range of disciplines: Chicana/o, ethnic, and cultural studies; urban history, sociology, and anthropology; city planning; and cultural and feminist geography.

Book Water for Tears

  • Author :
  • Publisher : Damiani Limited
  • Release : 2018-09-06
  • ISBN : 9788862085960
  • Pages : 144 pages

Download or read book Water for Tears written by and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joan Liftin's third monograph, Water for Tears , is a lyrical memoir. The book is about family and trips, about running away and coming back, short texts and photographs about pleasure in the newness of everyday life. There are layered images from everywhere, like the blind woman feeling her way by a timeworn splattered wall in Mexico or the teenage boys posing with a head of Reagan in the Soviet Union in 1988, while the darkest ones are from the American South's brutality during the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement. Her observations are mysterious, sensuous and often very funny. At the heart of the book is a tender farewell to her life with Charlie, Magnum photographer Charles Harbutt. There are no captions or dates, except in the back of the book, but you know where you are - you are with Joan.

Book Mexican Suite

  • Author : Olivier Debroise
  • Publisher : University of Texas Press
  • Release : 2001-03-15
  • ISBN : 9780292716117
  • Pages : 318 pages

Download or read book Mexican Suite written by Olivier Debroise and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2001-03-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Now this publication is available in English as Mexican Suite. Olivier Debroise and Stella de Sa Rego have revised this edition to include more current material and explanatory notes for an audience less familiar with Mexican history. They have also eliminated some of the general history of photography and added more of the early history of photography in Mexico, as well as many new, previously unpublished images. The book is organized both chronologically and thematically, which allows viewer/readers to follow the evolution of major photographic genres and styles. Debroise also examines the role of photography in the development of modern Mexico and the influence of prominent foreign photographers such as Edward Weston, Tina Modotti, and Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Book Through the Lens of the City

Download or read book Through the Lens of the City written by and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1970s, the National Endowment for the Arts Photography Surveys granted money to photograph American cities at the bicentennial and years that followed. In Through the Lens of the City: NEA Photography Surveys of the 1970s, Mark Rice brings to light this long-neglected photographic endeavor. From 1976 to 1981, the NEA supported more than seventy projects that examined a wide range of people and places in America. Artists involved included such well known photographers as Bruce Davidson, Lee Friedlander, and Joel Meyerowitz and many photographers who became widely known after their work with the surveys, such as Robert Adams, Joe Deal, Terry Evans, and Wendy Ewald. Rice argues that the NEA Photographic Surveys drew from two wells: a widespread sense of nostalgia and an intense public interest in photography. Looking at the works from eight key cities-Atlanta, Buffalo, Durham, East Baltimore, Galveston, Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Venice-the book uncovers marked differences as well as startling similarities in the concerns manifested by different photographers in far-flung places. Although the surveys are interesting both for their artistic merits and for their place in the history of American photography, they are equally important as a documentation of bicentennial-era America and a close examination of American cities. A major shift in the ideals of civil engineering and urban planning was underway in the 1970s. At the same time, ideas and theories about photography were changing along with our notions of what the city could and should be. These surveys, capturing American cities in a fascinating period of flux, show us American photographers matching artistry to subject matter in new and exciting ways. Mark Rice is chair of the American studies department at St. John Fisher College. His work has been published in such periodicals as Exposure, Explore, and Reviews in American History.
