Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In This Authoritative Study, Davalos Challenges The Sometimes Hidden, Sometimes Blatant Assumptions That Underlie The Practice Of Creating Museum Exhibits, And Asks What Happens When People Of Mexican (American) Descent Put Themselves In Command Of The Collection, Display, And Interpretation Of Their Cultural Products.Advancing A Chicana Feminist Interpretation, Davalos Carefully Explores Both The History Of Nineteenth And Twentiethcentury Museum Practices And The More Recent Phenomenon Of Physically Locating Mestizo/Chicano Art Within 'Insider Spaces,' (Such As Ethnically Or Racially Specific Cultural Institutions And Alternative Galleries). Just As Public Museums Instruct Visitors About Who Does And Who Does Not Belong To A Nation'S Cultural Legacy, Davalos Makes Clear That Exhibitions In Socalled Minority Museums Are Likewise Shaped By Notions Of Difference And Nationalism And By The Politics Of Identity And Race.Davalos Pays Particular Attention To Museum And Cultural Centers In Major Mexican Diaspora Communities, Including The Mexican Fine Arts Museum In Chicago And Galeria De La Raza In San Francisco. Throughout She Critically Examines Chicano, Mexican, Mestizo, And Mexican American Subjectivities As They Are Expressed In Curatorial Decisions And Practices, In Educational Materials And Catalog Texts, And In The Performances And Other Public Events That Accompany Museum Exhibits. That Practicewhat Davalos Calls 'Exhibiting Mestizaje,' Produces Complex Representations Of Mexican (Americans). Davalos'S Analysis Shows Clearly That The Value Of Mestizaje And Diaspora Lies In Their Ability To Create A Cultural Poetics From Fluidity And Conflict.'Davalos Accomplishes The Difficult Task Of Discussing Chicano Art As Both Aesthetic And Political Work. She Does Not Reduce Artistic Expression To Political Propaganda, But Neither Does She Examine Aesthetic Issues In Isolation From The Social Processes That Give Them Shape And Meaning.George Lipsitz, Chair, Ethnic Studies Department, Uc San Diego
