{"product_id":"puro-teatro-a-latina-anthology","title":"Puro Teatro, A Latina Anthology","description":"From plays produced on shoestring budgets in the 1970s to today's high-tech performance pieces, Latina theater has emerged as a vibrant art form whose time has come. This anthology showcases this dynamic new genre through the works of established playwrights such as Cherríe Moraga and Dolores Prida as well as talented new playwrights and performers who have emerged in the past decade such as Migdalia Cruz, Elaine Romero, and Monica Palacios.\n\nPuro Teatro, A Latina Anthology includes a variety of theatrical genres: plays, performance pieces, puppet shows, innovative collaborations, and testimonials. It features previously unpublished plays from a broad range of experiences within the Latino\/a community, including families and home, friends and community building, coming of age and empowerment, and sexual and ethnic identities. The editors' introduction provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary Latina theater, placing it in its theatrical context and examining its divergent roots. Puro Teatro, A Latina Anthology is the first book of its kind to reflect in print a diversified body of writing that turns the spotlight on some of America's most talented and prolific artists. A subsequent volume will complement this anthology with a theoretical, critical reading of Latina theater and performance.\n\nCONTENTS\n\nFull Length Plays\nBotánica by Dolores Prida\nHeart of the Earth: A Popul Vuh Story by Cherríe Moraga\nThe Fat-Free Chicana and the Snow Cap Queen by Elaine Romero\n\nOne-act Plays\nLas nuevas tamaleras by Alicia Mena\nAnd Where Was Pancho Villa When You Really Needed Him? by Silviana Wood\nFuschia by Janis Astor del Valle\n\nPerformance Pieces\nNostalgia Maldita: 1-900-MEXICO : A StairMaster Piece by Yareli Arizmendi\nGood Grief, Lolita by Wilma Bonet\nA Roomful of Men by Amparo García Crow\nDescribe Your Work by Monica Palacios\n\nTestimonials\n\"Battle Worn,\" by Laura Esparza\n\"Dancing with the Voice of Truth,\" by María Mar\n\"Searching for Sanctuaries: Cruising through Town in a Red Convertible,\" by Diane Rodríguez\n\"Home, Desire, Memory: There Are No Borders Here,\" by Caridad Svich\n\"Tales of a South-of-the-Border\/North-of-the-Stereotype Theatre Director, by Susana Tubert\n\"Catching the Next Play: The Joys and Perils of Playwriting,\" by Edit Villarreal\n\nFull-Length Plays, Collaborative Works\nFrida: The Story of Frida Kahlo by Migdalia Cruz and Hilary Blecher\nMemorias de la revolución by Carmelita Tropicana and Uzi Parnes\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0816518270\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0816518270.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sandoval-Sánchez, Alberto|Sternbach, Nancy Saporta\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
