About this title

About the Author:

Lisa B. Y. Calvente is Assistant Professor of Intercultural Communication and Performance Studies in the College of Communication at DePaul University. Guadalupe García is Assistant Professor of History at Tulane University.

Review:

This is a fascinating collection of empirical case studies which should be useable in a wide range of educational contexts and will not go out of date quickly. (Laurence Cox, Lecturer in Sociology, National University of Ireland Maynooth)

Calvente and Garcia offer a much needed theoretical and methodological contribution to Cultural Studies by bringing together scholars who reinvigorate the study of visual communication with careful and rigorous case studies. The essays in this text demonstrate the power of visual images to not only perform and enact history, but incite and inspire revolution, a necessary precursor to decolonialism. (Bernadette Marie Calafell, Full Professor of Communication Studies, University of Denver)
