Description: An interdisciplinary study about the centrality of performance in Latin American culture and politics.
Review Quotes: "Diana Taylor is perhaps the most lucid and original Latin American performance theorist. In her new book, she tackles a very complex topic: the relationship between writing, performance, and historical memory on our continent. Her interdisciplinary approach provides us with new bridges and pathways between cultures, metiers, and disciplines. My colleagues and I have long been waiting for such a book."--Guillermo Gómez-Peña, performance artist and writer
