Imaging The Great Puerto Rican Family by Hilda Lloréns, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Hilda Lloréns's Imaging The Great Puerto Rican Family: Framing Nation, Race and Gender during the American Century, is a ground-breaking study of images-photographs, postcards, paintings, posters, and films-about Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans made by American and Puerto Rican image-makers between 1890 and 1990. The book underscores how colonial modernity turned global, the conceptual framework informing the analysis, not only calls attention to the national and global networks in which image-makers have been a part of, and by which they have been influenced, but highlights the manners by which technologies of imaging and "seeing" have been prime movers as well as critics of modernity. | Imaging The Great Puerto Rican Family by Hilda Lloréns, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
