Yolanda M. López
"Chicana artist Yolanda López achieved international recognition for her groundbreaking and controversial Virgin of Guadalupe series of paintings (1975-78) in which she transformed the beloved icon in order to celebrate and sanctify ordinary Mexican and Mexican American women as hardworking, assertive, and vibrant. Born in San Diego, California, López formally trained as a painter but has since expanded into a variety of media, including installation, video, and slide presentations. López is unwavering in her commitment to representing the experiences of Mexican American women in the United States, confronting stereotypes about Latin Americans and challenging U.S. immigration policy."--Amazon.
Loving Oscar
As one of the generation of "silent knowers" in the 1940s, Connie is raised to believe she has no voice in important life matters. As she grows to adulthood, this reluctance to speak up or to confront others is tragically compounded. When she discovers that her husband, Oscar, has returned to his childhood love and begun a second family, her silence turns into determination. Her marriage ends; but she faces the challenges of raising her six children with love, courage, and grace.Filled with heartbreak, secrets, and betrayals, Connie's struggles, as told by her eldest daughter, are an inspiration to anyone seeking to transcend their life circumstances and wishing to find their authentic voice.
Fuimos a Cuba

Our Lady of Controversy
Months before Alma López's digital collage Our Lady was shown at the Museum of International Folk Art in 2001, the museum began receiving angry phone calls from community activists and Catholic leaders who demanded that the image not be displayed. Protest rallies, prayer vigils, and death threats ensued, but the provocative image of la Virgen de Guadalupe (hands on hips, clad only in roses, and exalted by a bare-breasted butterfly angel) remained on exhibition. Highlighting many of the pivotal questions that have haunted the art world since the NEA debacle of 1988, the contributors to Our Lady of Controversy present diverse perspectives, ranging from definitions of art to the artist's inten...
Imaginaries of Migration
How do Mexican migrants in Germany perceive themselves and their lives? Innovatively combining theories of interculturality and social imaginaries, Yolanda López García uses the anthropological method of life stories to investigate the understudied area of Mexican migration to Germany. She discusses areas such as quality of life as a motivation for migration, the role of banal nationalism in imaginaries, the dynamic subjective re-construction of Mexicanness, and the process of (imagined) "Germanisation". Yolanda López García ultimately argues that individuals, as social agents, engage with and construct new emerging imaginaries, which may be viewed as important engines of social change.
