Publishers Summary:
Throughout time and across the globe, human civilization has used art as a powerful tool of communication. For thousands upon thousands of years, people have been creating things, from poems to pottery, music to grand buildings; we call these creations art. Through an image, a song, a piece of writing, or other art form, people can express an enormous variety of ideas, memories, emotions, and events. Art is an indispensable mode of cultural survival and expression. This book explores the history and development of Latino art. It illuminates how Latino artists have used their work to communicate concepts important to their own communities and cultures. Along the way, it explains how Latino art has affected the United States and become an influence in American popular culture. "Latino Arts and Their Influence on the United States: Songs, Dreams, and Dances" ultimately shows that Latino art has become vital not only to Latino communities but to American society as a whole.
