By advancing a theoretical and methodological framework he calls transplanetary relationality, Hernández shows how artists' ascendant attentions unhinge Latinidades from their terrestrial bindings in an aerial pursuit of being with Earth and with other planets. Speculation, science, and technology fuel creative activities referencing the cosmos, taking Latinx art history into unexpected territory. Science fiction B-movie aesthetics empowers political statements of the third kind. NASA's Apollo program sparks muralist imaginings about other planetary vistas. Private aerospace companies are prompting new generations of artist-activists to defend both land and sky. By showcasing visionaries who frustrate categories of time and place, Hernández's investigation transcends the typical limits of border studies via a vertical scale, proving that the color of space is not only black but brown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robb Hernández\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478039221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478039228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Robb Hernández","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096606613759,"sku":"9781478039228","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transplanetary-americas-robb-hernzandez-9781478039228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
