Description

The Nuyorican Poets Café has for the past forty years provided a space for multicultural artistic expression and a platform for the articulation of Puerto Rican and black cultural politics. The Café's performances-poetry, music, hip hop, comedy, and drama-have been studied in detail, but until now, little attention has been paid to the voices of its women artists. Through archival research and interview, Nuyorican Feminist Performance examines the contributions of 1970s and '80s performeras and how they challenged the Café's gender politics. It also looks at recent artists who have built on that foundation with hip hop performances that speak to contemporary audiences. The book spotlights the work of foundational artists such as Sandra María Esteves, Martita Morales, Luz Rodríguez, and Amina Muñoz, before turning to contemporary artists La Bruja, Mariposa, Aya de León, and Nilaja Sun, who infuse their poetry and solo pieces with both Nuyorican and hip hop aesthetics. Review "A tour-de-force that fills a significant void in the literature of Latina/o/x cultural expression within the context of New York City. It will appeal to scholars of Latina/o/x art, art history, cultural studies, theater and performance studies." --Wilson Valentín-Escobar, University of Massachusetts Lowell"Groundbreaking . . . an extremely important and very timely intervention in the fields of Latina/o studies, women's studies, and literary, theater and performance studies. The book engages valuable, understudied and unknown archival materials and offers interesting and relevant analysis. --Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, University of Michigan About the Author Patricia Herrera is Associate Professor of Theatre, American Studies, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Richmond.
