Caracteristici

The book combines close readings of Carmen Miranda's film performances, both in Brazil and Hollywood, with an analysis of how her star image has been perpetuated and reinforced in varied parts of the world via reproductions in material culture, such as copycat clothing and caricatured versions of her look, and via the performances of 'Carmen Miranda' imitators, not least carnival revellers and drag queens
