Editorial Reviews
New Art Examiner
"Effectively arguing that Mendieta is not the earth mother her detractors make her out to be, Blocker's premise is that Mendieta's earthworks were more performative than sculptural. . . . Blocker poses the strong link between earth and nation, resulting in a re-reading of Mendieta's work that is highly political and makes free use of the post-colonial strategies of theorists such as Homi Bhaba and Edward Said. Blocker shrewdly challenges fellow critics, taking on the gamut of biting and dismissive critiques. . . . In the progressive, enlightened '90s, when a sculpture by Carl Andre is still the more valued acquisition, Where is Ana Mendieta? is one of the few books that attempts the correction of this grave negligence. Weighty and thoughtful, Blocker has written a precise and convincing analysis of Ana Mendieta's overwhelming significance as an artist." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
