{"product_id":"el-teatro-campesino-yolanda-broyles-gonz-lez-9780292708013","title":"El Teatro Campesino: Theater in the Chicano Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1965 as an organizing tool within C駸ar Ch疱ez's United Farm Workers union, El Teatro Campesino became the premier Chicana\/o performance ensemble to emerge out of the Chicano movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This study demythologizes and reinterprets the company's history from its origins in California's farm labor struggles to its successes in Europe and on Broadway until the disbanding of the original collective ensemble in 1980 with the subsequent adoption of mainstream production techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYolanda Broyles-Gonz疝ez corrects many misconceptions concerning the Teatro's creation and evolution. She draws from a rich storehouse of previously untapped material, such as interviews with numerous ensemble members, production notes, and unpublished diaries, to highlight the reality of the collective creation that characterized the Teatro's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriting within contemporary cultural studies theory, Broyles-Gonz疝ez sheds light on class, gender, race, and cultural issues. Her work situates the Teatro within working-class Mexican performance history, the Chicano movement, gender relations, and recent attempts to mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yolanda Broyles-Gonz疝ez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292708017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292708013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.14w x 0.82d","brand":"Yolanda Broyles-Gonz疝ez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913554493695,"sku":"9780292708013","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d5d70896-95dc-442a-9c8e-e7d5068daf93.jpg?v=1680621022","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/el-teatro-campesino-yolanda-broyles-gonz-lez-9780292708013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
