Baca is best known for the \u003ci\u003eGreat Wall of Los Angeles\u003c\/i\u003e (1976-83), a vibrant 2,740-foot mural in Los Angeles that presents an alternative history of California--one that focuses on the contributions of marginalized and underrepresented communities. The mural is emblematic of Baca's pioneering approach to creating public art, a process in which members of the community are essential contributors to the conception and realization of the work.\u003cp\u003eAnna Indych-L pez explores Baca's oeuvre, from early murals painted with local gang members in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles to more recently commissioned works. She looks in depth at the Great Wall and considers the artist's ongoing work with the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) in Venice, California, a nonprofit group founded by Baca in 1976. Throughout, Indych-L pez assesses what she calls Baca's \"public art of contestation\" and discusses how ideas of collaboration and authorship and issues of race, class, and gender have influenced and sustained Baca's art practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chicano Studies Research Center Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780895511607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 7.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anna Indych-L\u0026#243;pez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43067652440245,"sku":"9780895511607","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_742bc011-cd86-41bb-8c47-579521f0e640.jpg?v=1690862256","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/judith-f-baca-volume-11-9780895511607","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
