"It is a pleasure to see a scholarly anthology dedicated to the legendary Self Help Graphics & Art printmaking workshop. Highlighting the individuals, neighborhoods, and institutions who kept it thriving for decades, this thoroughly researched social history of art offers readers a refreshing view of art-centered community making, emphasizing cross-cultural, feminist, and queer perspectives."--Jennifer A. Gonzalez, coeditor of Chicano and Chicana Art: A Critical Anthology

"An amazing collection of insightful essays on the critical role played by Self Help Graphics & Art over its fifty-year history in creating and nurturing an artistic community in East Los Angeles. By explaining the origins; networks of support; reach of art education; feminist, queer, and Central American collaborations; and reach of its art around the world, the editors have established the centrality of this institution of creativity and experimentation."--George J. Sánchez, author of Boyle Heights: How a Los Angeles Neighborhood Became the Future of American Democracy
