Its discourse assumes the implicated complexities instead of reducing them. This is probably due to a manifold approach based both on thorough research and on the author's own direct, committed involvement with the diverse artistic practices in the islands, and with socially engaged art in particular.” -- Gerardo Mosquer * Founder of the Havana Biennale, Independent art critic, historian and curator *\u003cbr\u003e“Reading this book immediately impressed upon me new ways of interpreting Caribbean art and art practices. Garrido Castellano has not created a framework for prescriptive viewing but challenges us to find different spaces of enunciation that our artists allow us to enter through their imaginative freedoms.” -- Patricia Mohammed * author of Imaging the Caribbean: Culture and Visual Translation *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCritique d'art\u003c\/i\u003e excerpt of \u003ci\u003eBeyond Representation\u003c\/i\u003e by Carlos Garrido Castellano   * Critique d'art *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Introduction   \u003cbr\u003e 1          Being Here and There.
