Give Me Life: Iconography and Identity in East LA Murals

This color art book explores the murals that grew from the Chicanismo movement in Los Angeles, a grassroots movement that used art to create broader awareness of Mexican American history and identity. The book reveals the themes and meanings of the murals, gives technical details on how they were planned and painted, and discusses their social context and their continuing significance to present-day communities of East Los Angeles.
