Review Quotes

"Brings dynamism and creative kicks to the graphic biography... With its considered construction and vivid reportage, Who is Ana Mendieta? heralds a better possible future, for the graphic book, for the arts, for the record of history, and for the revolution." -The Rumpus

"Epic in scope and searing in detail, Who is Ana Mendieta? is fiercely expressionistic, bringing the reader into the exuberance and drama of Mendieta's passionate world."-Cristy C. Road, author of Spit and Passion
