The book's areas of focus include:
With its comprehensive approach and informative structure, A Companion to Modern and Contemporary Latin American and Latinx Art is an excellent resource for advanced students in Latin American culture and art. It is also a valuable reference for aspiring scholars in the field.

Introduction: Latin American and Latino Art Alejandro Anreus, Robin Greeley, Megan Sullivan
Section I 1910-1945: Cosmopolitanisms and Nationalisms
This section focuses on the origins and development of avant-garde art movements based in the major urban centers of Latin America. It addresses the rising tensions between social and aesthetic agendas (especially around issues of race and class), redefinitions of national identities, and the confrontation between cosmopolitanism and nationalism. This set of essays explores various movements and critical voices in relation to relevant aspects of the international avant-garde and key moments of social and political history.

Section II 1945-1959: The Cold War and Internationalism
This group of essays addresses the rise of abstraction and consolidation of "internationalist" formalism, the polemics between the proponents of social realism and indigenismo as "authentic" art forms versus the subsequent development of alternative movements such as geometric, concrete and gestural abstraction. This section examines these movements within the social and political context of the Cold War and the rise of modernization theory and state-led developmentalism across Latin America. It also highlights the importance of the rise of institutions, museums, and events, such as the São Paulo Biennial, in the growing internationalization of Latin American art.

Section III 1959-1973: Revolution, Resistance, and the Politicization of Art
This section explores the upheavals in art and politics in the decade of the 1960s. Significant changes in the visual arts (the dematerialization of the art object, the rise of happenings, and the politicization of art) are read against the political and social turmoil of the Cuban Revolution, the 1968 student protests, and polarization of the political spectrum across Latin America. Several key theorists of this intense period of artistic and political development (Marta Traba, José Gómez Sicre, and Oscar Masotta) are particularly highlighted.
