Reviews for Roots and Offshoots: Silicon Valley’s Arts Community:
"A very clear and linear discussion of the shifts and changes in the South Bay art scene, woven with Rindfleisch’s first-person experiences and understanding. Her political grounding and commitment to action are ever-present and offer a guiding path through the many players and actors in this fascinating story."
"I have never seen a history of the arts scene in such detail presented."
"A good archive of the progressive art movement in this area, and an inspiration for others."
"Roots & Offshoots is a tremendous story—a major breakthrough in telling the history of culture in Silicon Valley. 好嘢 ("HO YEH", in Cantonese village colloquial). It means literally "good stuff" or "the right stuff"! Your book and the art within!"
"Mak kiš horše mak-hinnan, neppe nuunun horše rokét ’ennenikma mak holše wáayi!

"In refreshing fashion, Roots & Offshoots focuses on marginalized people that broke through institutional and socio-economic prejudices, artists that challenged establishment assumptions, or outsiders trying to circumvent the vanilla-male-centric status quo, going back to the mid-20th century."
"...Rindfleisch embroiders the last several decades, weaving various threads of history, often apexing with specific artists who stood out in terms of sheer outsider ambition, creativity and dedication to their causes"
