Focusing on street art in Cuba, Haiti, and Puerto Rico, the book explores how Antillean street artists reflect on their societies' struggles with colonization, occupation, and dictatorship. It highlights their ability to critique the current "impossible state" while also envisioning potential liberated futures and sovereign identities. Through this lens, the work emphasizes the transformative power of art in addressing political and social issues within these regions.
