*H-Net Reviews*
[The Art of Solidarity] presents an excellent range of case studies
both in terms of countries and time periods studied. While there is
much diversity, the chapters are consistent in their engagement
with the central questions of the volume making it suitable to dip
into and very satisfying when taken as a whole.
*Bulletin of Spanish Studies*
The most dynamic and methodologically creative book I have read in
any language on the cultural Cold War in the Americas…a book that
will set new standards on how we understand Cold War Latin
America.
*Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies*
[The Art of Solidarity] provides thought-provoking case studies of
the role of art in solidarity movements.
*The Americas*
[The Art of Solidarity] offers a new angle to solitary studies by
emphasizing visual culture and performance art…The collection as a
whole will be of special interest to scholars engaged with Latin
America, solidarity, the Cold War era, art and performance studies,
labor, gender and sexuality, transnational history, activism, and
human rights.
*Hispanic American Historical Review*
Taken as a whole, The Art of Solidarity is reaching in the right
direction, toward a consideration of empathy and also
affects...Scholars interested [in] arts activism, social movements,
human rights, and transitional justice should consider this
anthology for their research and teaching.
