You do not know American art history until you have read Along the Diagonal: Art / Essays / America. Roberto Tejada traces a diagonal across the hemisphere, bringing Latino and Latin American artists into view--not as an addendum to U.S. art history, but as a site of open-ended contemplation on the larger, often silenced histories and asymmetrical entanglements that shape the region. Bridging disciplines, this book is indispensable for art history, cultural theory, hemispheric studies, and gender, sexuality, ethnic, and Indigenous studies.---Chon Noriega, Distinguished Professor, UCLA
