Performing Autobiography In U.S. Latina Theater

"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.
