This book is associated with the exhibition of the same name, due to open at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in the fall of 2020. It is edited by E. Carmen Ramos, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and includes essays by Ramos, Tatiana Reinoza, Terezita Romo, and Claudia Zapata. These essays will discuss how, during the 1960s, activist Chicano artists forged a remarkable history of printmaking that remains vital today. Many artists came of age during the civil rights, labor, anti-war, feminist and LGBTQ+ movements and channeled each period's social activism into assertive aesthetic statements that announced a new political and cultural consciousness among people of Mexican descent in the United States. ¡Printing the Revolution! explores the rise of Chicano graphics within these early--and current--social movements and the ways in which Chicanx artists since then have advanced innovative printmaking practices attuned to social justice.

In 1979 Elizabeth Eisenstein provided the first full-scale treatment of the fifteenth-century printing revolution in the West in her monumental two-volume work, The Printing Press as an Agent of Change. This abridged edition, after summarising the initial changes introduced by the establishment of printing shops, goes on to discuss how printing challenged traditional institutions and affected three major cultural movements: the Renaissance, the Reformation and the rise of modern science. Also included is a later essay which aims to demonstrate that the cumulative processes created by printing are likely to persist despite the recent development of new communications technologies.
