A comprehensive look at the work of 40 young Cuban artists, all working and educated after the 1959 revolution. Camnitzer also examines the relationship among Cuban artists, the art world at large, and the Cuban government. He finds that rather than being controlled by their relationship with the government, these artists produce works that both criticize and praise Castro and the revolution and provoke fierce social debate. Includes some 200 b&w illustrations of works never seen before in the US. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
