“Temple of Confessions is…caustic, confrontational, ironic, self-conscious. As Gomez-Pena and Sifuentes explain, the book, like the performance it chronicles, tries to depict and defuse American cultural projections about Mexicans.... The volume makes a delicious riposte to conventional 'scientific' studies and even to their distant cousin, the straight documentary photograph.” —Phoenix Literary Section

“…their acclaimed and impossible-to-ignore performance/installation piece…invokes reconsideration of cultural stereotypes.” —Time Out New York

"...expands our idea of what performance can be and illuminates ideas of bigotry and otherness. And all very entertainingly.” —L.A. Weekly

“This performance piece in a book is an intriguing record of artist Gómez-Peña’s latest thoughts on cultural prejudice.” —“The UTNE Weeder,” UTNE Reader
