May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!
Did you know in the Library’s book collection there is a great title honoring this theme?
The Decolonized Eye: Filipino American Art and Performance
Author: Sarita Echavez See
Publisher: University of Minnesota Press, 2009
Print version Call Number: NX512.3.F55 S44 2009
The Decolonized Eye presents Filipino American art and performance from artists working in New York and California since the 1980s. The author highlights how these artists map and contest America’s amnesia about its colonization of the Philippines.
This perspective is grounded in specific examples of these artists’ visual and performance art, comedy, and film-making, and it helps define being an Asian Pacific American.
Come to the Library to see more Asian Pacific American Heritage Month-related titles on display.
Cheers!
