{"product_id":"everynight-life-celeste-fraser-delgado-9780822319191","title":"Everynight Life: Culture and Dance in Latin\/o America","description":"The function of dance in Latin\/o American culture is the focus of the essays collected in \u003ci\u003eEverynight Life\u003c\/i\u003e. The contributors interpret how Latin\/o culture expresses itself through dance, approaching the material from the varying perspectives of literary, cultural, dance, performance, queer, and feminist studies. Viewing dance as privileged sites of identity formation and cultural resistance in Latin\/o America, \u003ci\u003eEverynight Life\u003c\/i\u003e translates the motion of bodies into speech, and the gestures of dance into a provocative socio-political grammar.\u003cbr\u003eThis anthology looks at many modes of dance-including salsa, merengue, cumbia, rumba, mambo, tango, samba, and norteño-as models for the interplay of cultural memory and regional conflict. Barbara Browning's essay on capoeira, for instance, demonstrates how dance has been used as a literal form of resistance, while José Piedra explores the meanings conveyed by women of color dancing the rumba. Pieces such as Gustavo Perez Fírmat's \"I Came, I Saw, I Conga'd\" and Jorge Salessi's \"Medics, Crooks, and Tango Queens\" illustrate the lively scope of this volume's subject matter.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors\u003c\/i\u003e.
