This book explores the evolving political role of street art in Latin America. It examines the use, re-configuration and re-appropriation of public spaces through graffiti, muralism and street performance, drawing on empirical work undertaken in across three Latin American countries and the Caribbean. It demonstrates how cultural and political identification may be fomented through both the content and production of these acts and interventions. Bringing together a range of insights from social movement studies, aesthetics, communications and anthropology, the book highlights the difficulties in theorizing and understanding the complex interplay between art and politics. It seeks to explore what art can do in protest, and in so doing, makes a significant contribution to discussions of political communication, culture and resistance.
