Alicia Gaspar de Alba looks at the exhibit as a cultural text in which the Chicano\/a community affirmed itself not as a \"subculture\" within the U.S. but as an \"alter-Native\" culture in opposition to the exclusionary and homogenizing practices of mainstream institutions. She also shows how the exhibit reflected the cultural and sexual politics of the Chicano Movement and how it serves as a model of Chicano\/a popular culture more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing insights from cultural studies, feminist theory, anthropology, and semiotics, this book constitutes a wide-ranging analysis of Chicano\/a art, popular culture, and mainstream cultural politics.
