Caribbean and Latinx Street Art in Miami EPUB
by Jana Evans Braziel
Part of the Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies series
EPUB
Description
This study focuses on street art and large-scale murals in metropolitan Miami/Dade County, while also foregrounding the diasporic and aesthetic interventions made by migrant and second-generation artists whose families hail from the Caribbean and Latin America.
Jana Evans Braziel argues that Caribbean and Latinx street artists define and visually mark the city of Miami as a diasporic, transnational urban space. These artists also help define Miami as a cosmopolitan city, yet one that is also a distinctly Caribbean and Latinx urban space, and simultaneously resist but also (at times reluctantly) participate in the forces of gentrification and urban re/development, particularly through the myriad and complex ways in which street art contributes to city branding and art tourism.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, urban studies, American studies, and Latin American/Caribbean studies.
