Summary:

"Scarred Landscapes is a groundbreaking exploration of the rich and complex works of Caribbean Latinx artists. This compelling volume documents the work of ten influential artists of Cuban, Dominican, and Puerto Rican descent, based in New York City from the 1970s to the present. Through their diverse practices, including painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, installation, video, and performance art, these artists confront the legacies of colonial trauma and their own experiences of diasporic unbelonging and artworld marginality"-- Provided by publisher.
