"MARCH TO AN AESTHETIC OF REVOLUTION".       Chapter 40 was originally published as Raye Bemis (Mitchell),  New Art Examiner           (February 1997) 
This anthology provides an overview of the history and theory of Chicano/a art from the 1960s to the present, emphasizing the debates and vocabularies that have played key roles in its conceptualization. In Chicano and Chicana Art—which includes many of Chicano/a art's landmark and foundational texts and manifestos—artists, curators, and cultural critics trace the development of Chicano/a art from its early role in the Chicano civil rights movement to its mainstream acceptance in American art institutions.
