2023 Outstanding Book Award, National Association for Ethnic StudiesFinalist - 2024 Charles Rufus Morey Book Award, College Art Association2024 Winner - Best Arts Book, Empowering Latino Futures’ International Latino Book AwardsHow Latinx artists around the US adopted the medium of printmaking to reclaim the lands of the Americas.Printmakers have conspired, historically, to illustrate the maps created by European colonizers that were used to chart and claim their expanding territories. Over the last three decades, Latinx artists and print studios have reclaimed this printed art form for their own spatial discourse. This book examines the limited editions produced at four art studios around the US that span everything from sly critiques of Manifest Destiny to printed portraits of Dreamers in Texas. Reclaiming the Americas is the visual history of Latinx printmaking in the US. Tatiana Reinoza employs a pan-ethnic comparative model for this interdisciplinary study of graphic art, drawing on art history, Latinx studies, and geography in her discussions. The book contests printmaking’s historical complicity in the logics of colonization and restores the art form and the lands it once illustrated to the Indigenous, migrant, mestiza/o, and Afro-descendant people of the Americas.

[A] pioneering book…[Reinoza] offers an interdisciplinary approach to Latinx printmaking from a decolonized perspective that debunks Eurocentric conventions of cartography and geography and reinscribes the art form of printmaking to the peoples of the Americas. (CHOICE) Images used in print media, as [Reclaiming the Americas] demonstrates, continue to be open to new creative applications, routes of circulation, and trajectories of analysis. . . . While Latinx studies has moved beyond simplistic celebrations of resistance in art and visual culture, we now live in an era in which scholars and artists of previous generations who fail to meet the standards of presentism are susceptible to swift dismissal. The field of Latinx art and visual culture-and Latinx studies more broadly-needs this degree of nuance implemented by Reinoza. (Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture) A border-crossing and interdisciplinary feat...The book’s greatest strength lies in the author’s recognition that theseworks, although decolonial efforts, are still haunted by the afterlives of coloniality.
