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.

Methodology of the Oppressed
A new approach to feminist thought that challenges
current critical theories.
In a work with far-reaching implications, Chela Sandoval does no
less than revise the genealogy of theory over the past thirty
years, inserting what she terms \"U.S. Third World feminism\" into
the narrative in a way that thoroughly alters our perspective on
contemporary culture and subjectivity.
What Sandoval has identified is a language, a rhetoric of
resistance to postmodern cultural conditions. U.S. liberation
movements of the post-World War II era generated specific modes of
oppositional consciousness. Out of these emerged a new activity of
consciousness and language Sandoval calls the \"methodology of the
oppressed.\" This methodology-born of the strains of the cultural
and identity struggles that currently mark global exchange-holds
out the possibility of a new historical moment, a new
citizen-subject, and a new form of alliance consciousness and
politics.
Utilizing semiotics and U.S. Third World feminist criticism,
Sandoval demonstrates how this methodology mobilizes love as a
category of critical analysis. Rendering this approach in all its
specifics, Methodology of the Oppressed gives rise to an
alternative mode of criticism opening new perspectives on any
theoretical, literary, aesthetic, social movement, or psychic
expression.
