Mi Casa no es su Casa : Chicano Murals and Barrio Calligraphy as Systems of Signification at Estrada Courts, 1972-1978, 1991.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122448140

A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Art History, Cecelia F. Klein, chair. This thesis refutes traditional art-historical analyses which reduce the form and function of Chicano graffiti and Chicano muralism into given divergent categories that position murals as "art" and graffiti as "vandalism." By approaching each as a cultural practice developing in and through historical discourse, they are understood to be contending systems of signification with the capacity to provide their practioners cultural representation in a political context.
