Publisher Description Art meets todays political debate over immigration in this beautifully illustrated exploration of Nicario Jiménez Quispes retablos.This beautifully illustrated full-color book offers a unique depiction of the current immigration debate through the lens of renowned Peruvian artist Nicario Jiménez Quispe, a recent immigrant to the United States. An internationally recognized maker of retablos, Jiménez has begun creating work that powerfully encapsulates the struggles, possibilities, and tragedies of immigration from the Global South to North America.A decorative box with figures in the interior, a retablo traditionally was used to pay homage to certain saints in Peru. In Spain, they were used as portable altars for itinerant priests who carried them to perform mass in remote areas. In the Andes, the retablo became a sort of magical-religious box designed to increase fertility among animals that served as a means of exchange in a cash-free, rural environment.The authors, leading historians of Latin America, contextualize Jiménezs compelling art, to offer creative new insights on the bitter immigration disputes that are dividing our nation.
