The performances were remarkable not only for the talent displayed, but for their blend of linguistic, musical, and cultural traditions. 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. 606 $aAmerican drama$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican drama$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican drama$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHispanic American women$xIntellectual life 606 $aMexican American women$xIntellectual life 606 $aHispanic Americans in the performing arts 606 $aWomen in popular culture$zUnited States 606 $aPerforming arts$zUnited States 606 $aPerformance art$zUnited States 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States 606 $aHispanic American theater 615 0$aAmerican drama$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xMexican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHispanic American women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aMexican American women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aHispanic Americans in the performing arts. 615 0$aWomen in popular culture 615 0$aPerforming arts 615 0$aPerformance art 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aHispanic American theater. 676 $a791/.082/0973 700 $aHabell-Pallan$b Michelle$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828573803321 996 $aLoca motion$94027380 997 $aUNINA
