In Loca Motion, Michelle Habell-Pallán argues that performances like Diva L.A. play a vital role in shaping and understanding contemporary transnational social dynamics. Chicano/a and Latino/a popular culture, including spoken word, performance art, comedy, theater, and punk music aesthetics, is central to developing cultural forms and identities that reach across and beyond the Americas, from Mexico City to Vancouver to Berlin. Drawing on the lives and work of a diverse group of artists, Habell-Pallán explores new perspectives that defy both traditional forms of Latino cultural nationalism and the expectations of U.S. culture. The result is a sophisticated rethinking of identity politics and an invaluable lens from which to view the complex dynamics of race, class, gender, and sexuality.American dramaHispanic American authorsHistory and criticismAmerican dramaMexican American authorsHistory and criticismAmerican dramaWomen authorsHistory and criticismHispanic American womenIntellectual lifeMexican American womenIntellectual lifeHispanic Americans in the performing artsWomen in popular cultureUnited StatesPerforming artsUnited StatesPerformance artUnited StatesPopular cultureUnited StatesHispanic American theaterAmerican dramaHispanic American authorsHistory and criticism.American dramaMexican American authorsHistory and criticism.American dramaWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Hispanic American womenIntellectual life.Mexican American womenIntellectual life.Hispanic Americans in the performing arts.Women in popular culturePerforming artsPerformance artPopular cultureHispanic American theater.791/.082/0973Habell-Pallán Michelle1891466MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963388803321Loca motion4534575UNINA
