Book Description
Latinos across the United States are redefining identities, pushing boundaries, and awakening politically in powerful and surprising ways. Many—Afrolatino, indigenous, Muslim, queer and undocumented, living in large cities and small towns—are voices who have been chronically overlooked in how the diverse population of almost sixty million Latinos in the U.S. has been represented. No longer. In this empowering cross-country travelogue, journalist and activist Paola Ramos embarks on a journey to find the communities of people defining the controversial term, “Latinx.” She introduces us to the indigenous Oaxacans who rebuilt the main street in a post-industrial town in upstate New York, the “Las Poderosas” who fight for reproductive rights in Texas, the musicians in Milwaukee whose beats reassure others of their belonging, as well as drag queens, environmental activists, farmworkers, and the migrants detained at our border. Drawing on intensive field research as well as her own personal story, Ramos chronicles how “Latinx” has given rise to a sense of collectivity and solidarity among Latinos unseen in this country for decades. A vital and inspiring work of reportage, Finding Latinx calls on all of us to expand our understanding of what it means to be Latino and what it means to be American. The first step towards change, writes Ramos, is for us to recognize who we are.

The young Italian artist became known with a series of enigmatic large-format, surrealistic photographs, placing animals in unexpected places and situations. In her elaborate room installations, objects and performances she thematizes the absurd aspects of reality by placing familiar objects in unexpected contexts, divesting them of their functions. At the Venice Biennale Pivi showed a Fiat G91 fighter jet turned upside-down and a huge semi-trailer placed on its side. Pivi's works breaks open cultural, social and societal conventions and evoke irritation in the viewer. English text.
