Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Insurgent Beauty: Indigenous Art in Urban Panama. Book.

Paperback. Condition: new. New Copy. Customer Service Guaranteed.

Condition: new.

Paperback. Condition: New. Insurgent Beauty: Indigenous Art in Urban Panama examines artistic and political developments from 1968 to the present, exploring how Native American artists leveraged Panama's populist military reforms from 1968 to 1989 and the neoliberal transition to assert their presence in urban spaces. This book breaks new ground as it examines Indigenous art in new contexts. It utilizes research conducted over ten years with authorization from the Congreso General de la Cultura Guna and supported by a Fulbright Scholarship and grants from the US Library of Congress, the University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries, and the A. M. Pate Professorship. It also taps a wide variety of archival materials as well as oral histories obtained through informed consent. With emphasis on the urban Indigenous experience, this book uniquely focuses on art's connection to Indigenous politics and public life. Historically, scholars of Indigenous artistic expression in Latin America have focused on elements they regard as rural crafts, such as weavings, ceramics, oral literature, and carvings. Inspired by scholars Philip Deloria and Gerald Vizenor, this study shifts to urban art forms such as studio art, jazz, modern dance, hip hop, drama, photography, and film. Concentrating on the Guna (formerly Kuna) people who were the earliest Indigenous migrants to Panama City and who are famous, across Latin America, for their bright, geometrically patterned mola fabrics, author Peter Szok argues that the molas are just one aspect of Guna artistic culture, and that the rise of more urban manifestations is part of a process of ethnic resurgence.…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Wolf Tracks: Popular Art and Re-Africanization in Twentieth-Century Panama. Book.

Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: New. Popular art is a masculine and working-class genre, associated with Panama's black population. Its practitioners are self-taught, commercial painters, whose high-toned designs, vibrant portraits, and landscapes appear in cantinas, barbershops, and restaurants. The red devil buses are popular art's most visible manifestation. The old school buses are imported from the United States and provide public transportation in Colón and Panama City. Their owners hire the artists to attract customers with eye-catching depictions of singers and actors, brassy phrases, and vivid representations of both local and exotic panoramas. The red devils boast powerful stereo systems and dominate the urban environment with their blasting reggae, screeching brakes, horns, sirens, whistles, and roaring mufflers.Wolf Tracks analyzes the origins of these practices, tying them to rebellious, Afro-American festival traditions, and to the rumba craze of the mid-twentieth century. During World War II, thousands of U.S. soldiers were stationed in Panama, and elaborately decorated cabarets opened to cater to their presence. These venues often featured touring Afro-Cuban musicians. Painters such as Luis ""The Wolf"" Evans exploited such moments of modernization to challenge the elite and its older conception of Panama as a country with little connection to Africa. While the intellectual class fled from modernization and asserted a romantic and mestizo (European-indigenous) vision of the republic, popular artists enthusiastically embraced the new influences to project a powerful sense of blackness. Wolf Tracks includes biographies of dozens of painters, as well as detailed discussions of mestizo nationalism, soccer, reggae, and other markers of Afro-Panamanian identity.…
