Tragic Bitches: Queer Xican@ Performance Acts against Oblivion
2015
Overview
Tragic Bitches: An Experiment in Queer Xicana & Xicano Performance Poetry, by Adelina Anthony, Dino Foxx and Lorenzo Herrera y Lozano, recovers a lost voice among current Chicano sociocultural trends, the Queer Xican@. This study analyzes the use of performance poetry as a tool for uncovering Queer Xicanidad. The trio establishes queer people of color via social demonstration, thus giving life through both live performance poetry and the written page. Brazen and unapologetic, Tragic Bitches serves as a social movement in and of itself in which the poets rescue Queer Xicanidad from oblivion. Its authors recognize and claim their collective tragedy while learning and healing from it.
