Queer artists and artists of color have never enjoyed the same recognition as their white, heterosexual counterparts. This disparity extends to the art historical record, making learning about these artists from mainstream sources nearly impossible. However, a new generation of scholars is working to illuminate to work these artists produce and the number of relevant books and journal articles has greatly increased. This does not mean the gap has closed, but there are now more high-quality resources that one can use to research queer artists than ever before. Below is a selection of resources to learn more about the artists in Axis Mundo: Queer Networks in Chicano L.A.
