The text by Lauro Flores (Spanish, Portuguese and American Ethnic Studies, U. of Washington), presented in both Spanish and English, discusses some of his background and work. The book contains several b&w photographs of the artist. Oversize: 9.25x12.25<">. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
