Performing the US Latina and Latino Borderlands

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.

Reviews

"This timely volume utilizes a growing body of scholarship in the field of performance studies, while filling in significant gaps and expanding the objects of study in the area of Latina performance. The editors have selected a wide range of essays that represent a splendid array of topics and themes of intrinsic interest to the field."—Yvonne Yarbro Bejarano, author of The Wounded Heart: Writing on Cherríe Moraga

"This collection brings together a wealth of Latino Studies scholars in a dynamic interdisciplinary dialogue around issues of performance, identity, and de-colonization. The valuable conversations that emerge from their essays extend into many scholarly disciplines, including Latin American Studies, Queer and Gender Studies, and African American Studies."—Emily Maguire, author of Experiments in Cuban Literature and Ethnography

"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 Arrizón, author of Queering Mestizaje: Transculturation and Performance

"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."—Latino Studies

"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
