Performing the US Latina and Latino Borderlands is a vital addition to the growing body of scholarship focused on the ''performatics'' of border-crossers, bordernatives, and border-inhabitants as necessary sources of knowledge.
I would recommend this book for scholars interested in learning about diverse ways that marginalized populations seize the tools of performance and alter them to shift the story. . . Each chapter contains enough cultural context for scholars unfamiliar with Latina/o Studies and enough entertaining performance for everyone.
(Text and Presentation)In this interdisciplinary volume, contributors analyze the expression of Latina/o cultural identity through performance. With music, theater, dance, visual arts, body art, spoken word, performance activism, fashion, and street theater as points of entry, contributors discuss cultural practices and the fashoning 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.
