"This is a very important study of one of the most ambitious and intriguing artists of our time. Blocker's work brings together performance theory, historiography, art history, and biography in order to illuminate some of the beckoning caves and shadows of Mendieta's art and life."--Peggy Phelan, author of "Mourning Sex: Performing Public Memories"
"This book offers a more rigorous historical and cultural analysis than earlier texts on Ana Mendieta. It adds usefully to one's understanding of Mendieta's work and will contribute to her insertion into history."--Mira Schor, author of "Wet: On Painting, Feminism, and Art Culture"
