Rutgers University Pressc20111 online resource (193 p.)LatinidadDescription based upon print version of record.0-8135-4880-2 Includes bibliographical references (p. 159-169) and index.Mobilizing the Latina myth -- Dolores Del Rio dances across the imperial color line -- Carmen Miranda shakes it for the nation -- Rita Hayworth and the cosmetic borders of race -- Rita Moreno, the critically acclaimed "all-round ethnic" -- Jennifer Lopez, racial mobility, and the new urban/Latina commodity.Dance and the Hollywood Latina asks why every Latina star in Hollywood history, from Dolores Del Rio in the 1920's to Jennifer Lopez in the 2000's, began as a dancer or danced onscreen. While cinematic depictions of women and minorities have seemingly improved, a century of representing brown women as natural dancers has popularized the notion that Latinas are inherently passionate and promiscuous. Yet some Latina actresses became stars by embracing and manipulating these stereotypical fantasies. Introducing the concepts of "inbetween-ness" and "racial mobility" to further illuminate how racialized sexuality and the dancing female body operate in film, Priscilla Peña Ovalle focuses on the careers of Dolores Del Rio, Rita Hayworth, Carmen Miranda, Rita Moreno, and Jennifer Lopez. Dance and the Hollywood Latina helps readers better understand how the United States grapples with race, gender, and sexuality through dancing bodies on screen.Latinidad.Hispanic Americans in motion picturesHispanic Americans in the motion picture industryHispanic American motion picture actors and actressesDance in motion pictures, television, etcUnited StatesRace in motion picturesSex in motion picturesHispanic Americans in motion pictures.Hispanic Americans in the motion picture industry.Hispanic American motion picture actors and actresses.Dance in motion pictures, television, etc.Race in motion pictures.Sex in motion pictures.791.43/652968073Ovalle Priscilla Peña1976-1497680MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789741103321Dance and the Hollywood Latina3722918UNINA
