Performing the US Latina and Latino Borderlands

Autor Arturo J. Aldama, Chela Sandoval, Peter J. García, Micaela Díaz–sánchez, Maria Lugones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2012
In this interdisciplinary volume, contributors analyze the expression of Latina/o cultural identity through performance. With music theatre, dance, visual arts, body art, spoken word, performance activism, fashion, and street theatre as points of entry, contributors discuss cultural practices and the fashioning of identity in Latino/a communities throughout the US. Examining the areas of crossover between Latin and American cultures gives new meaning to the notion of "borderlands." This volume features senior scholars and up-and-coming academics from cultural, visual, and performance studies, folklore, and ethnomusicology.

Recenzii

The essays in Performing the US Latina & Latino Borderlands expand the field of Latina/o cultural studies while situating innovative discussions of performance in the context of borderlands studies. In its totality, the collection focuses on specific formations of collective identities-in-resistance, or what the editors call, the performance of a "borderland consciousness." Performing the US Latina & Latino Borderlands is suitable for graduate and upper undergraduate courses in Latina/o American studies, ethnic and cultural studies, and performance studies.--Alicia Arrizon "author of Queering Mestizaje: Transculturation and Performance "
