Performing autobiography in U.S. Latina theater

Description:

"This book demonstrates the crucial significance of looking at theatrical performance for rethinking critical inquiry. Leah Garland closely analyzes the theoretical tools with which prominent theater artists - Cherrie Moraga, Carmelita Tropicana, Coco Fusco, and Nao Bustamante - challenge neocolonial parameters for self-examination. Garland shows how the self-affirmative maneuvers that these artists deploy reconceptualize the subject in literary theory."--Jacket.
