Copublished with the Institute of International Visual Arts, London.

The collection balances traditional and popular aesthetic-symbolic production as well as Afro- and Indo-American presences in the visual arts, and covers the whole of the Americans, including the Caribbean and the United States.Contributors: M��a Amor.
