Publisher's Synopsis

Over the past twenty-five years, Chicano artists have made a unique contribution to public art in California, transforming thousands of walls into colourful artwork that express the dreams, achievements, aspirations, and cultural identity of the Mexican-American community. This book tells the inside story of this new and important American art form in four interpretative essays by noted Chicano scholars about its historical, artistic and educational significance.
