Calvente and Garcia offer a much needed theoretical and methodological contribution to Cultural Studies by bringing together scholars who reinvigorate the study of visual communication with careful and rigorous case studies. The essays in this text demonstrate the power of visual images to not only perform and enact history, but incite and inspire revolution, a necessary precursor to decolonialism.
— Bernadette Marie Calafell, Gonzaga University; author of Monstrosity, Performance, and Race in Contemporary Culture
