- Summary
- "Murals are as Chicano as corn tortillas and guacamole. They are a vivid living part of our culture that expresses our sorrow and our hope, our dreams and our despair. Many of our greatest Chicano and Chicana artists got their start by painting on the walls of gas stations and schools, residential fences, and community centers. Bringing the murals in this book back to life and telling the story of their births and deaths makes an important contribution to the study of Chicana/o art as a serious and uniquely American art form."--Cheech Marin, art advocate and entertainer. "Showcasing the creative spirit and truths that must be told, [this book] features murals that were censored, whitewashed, neglected, and even destroyed. Histories of works by Barbara Carrasco, Roberto Chavez, Ernesto de la Loza, Yreina Cervántez, Alma López, Willie Herrón, Sergio O'Cadiz, and East Los Streetscapers David Botello, Wayne Healy, and George Yepes reveal the power of urban art."--Back cover.
