Kristie Soares focuses on the diasporic media of Puerto Rico and Cuba to examine how music, public activist demonstrations, social media, sitcoms, and other areas of culture resist the dominant stories told about Latinx joy. As she shows, Latinx creators compose versions of joy central to social and political struggle and at odds with colonialist and imperialist narratives that equate joy with political docility and a lack of intelligence. Soares builds her analysis around chapters that delve into gozando in salsa music, precise joy among the New Young Lords Party, choteo in the comedy Que Pasa U.S.A.?, azúcar in the life and death of Celia Cruz, dale as Pitbull's signature affect, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's use of silliness to take seriously political violence"--Provided by publisher.Feminist Media StudiesMass media and culturefast(OCoLC)fst01011339Hispanic AmericansPolitics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst00957586Hispanic Americans and mass mediafast(OCoLC)fst00957618JoyPolitical aspectsMass media and cultureUnited StatesHispanic AmericansPolitics and governmentHispanic Americans and mass mediaUnited StatesfastMass media and culture.Hispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Hispanic Americans and mass media.JoyPolitical aspects.Mass media and cultureHispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Hispanic Americans and mass media.302.2308968073Soares Kristie1826032MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911008931603321Playful Protest4393975UNINA
