"Andrea Giunta, one of the most insightful and forward looking intellectuals working today, has created an extensive network of ideas and observations about the multiple roles played by women artists, critics, curators, and gallerists throughout Latin America. The Political Body is essential reading for all connected in any way to the world of contemporary art."--Edward J. Sullivan, Helen Gould Shepard Professor in the History of Art, New York University "Since the early 1990s, Andrea Giunta has been a pioneer scholar on feminist art in Latin America. In her hands, this book is neither a genealogy nor a History with capital H; instead, in its specificity, it highlights the forms of resistance, denouncement, and emancipative creative imagination by women artists in the context of gender, social, and racial oppression in Latin America. By combining a constellation of microhistories and academic research with Giunta's own first-person voice, the book counters stereotypes, racial discrimination, marginalization, and the invisibilization of women, and instead foregrounds the transformational role of feminist art and politics since the mid-twentieth century."--Cecilia Fajardo-Hill, independent curator and art historian
