Chicano Art and Theory: Essays and Interpretations from a Chicana Feminist Lens

Step into a vivid visual journey that bridges art, culture, identity, and resistance. Chicano Art and Theory offers powerful interpretations of visual narratives at the U.S.-Mexico border through the eyes of Chicana and intersectional feminist theory.

From rosary bridges at sunrise to ghostly mothers and sacred icons in Tehuana dress, this book dives deep into the symbolic meanings behind Chicano and Chicana art-unpacking the hopes, grief, spirituality, and resilience of a community too often silenced.

Inspired by thinkers like Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, and Sandra Cisneros, this collection invites readers to question history, celebrate culture, and recognize art as a living form of resistance. Whether you're an artist, student, or lover of Latinx cultural expression, this book is a necessary bridge between image and identity, past and possibility.
