Her first book, Mestizo Modernisms: Race, Nation, and Identity in Latin American Culture, 1900-1940 (Rutgers U Press, 2003) examines the discourses of mestizaje, modernity, and nationalism in the work of early 20th-century Latin American modernist artists César Vallejo, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and Gabriela Mistral.
