{"product_id":"holy-terrors-diana-taylor-9780822332404","title":"Holy Terrors: Latin American Women Perform","description":"\u003ci\u003eHoly Terrors\u003c\/i\u003e presents exemplary original work by fourteen of Latin America's foremost contemporary women theatre and performance artists. Many of the pieces-including one-act plays, manifestos, and lyrics-appear in English for the first time. From Griselda Gambaro, Argentina's most widely recognized playwright, to such renowned performers as Brazil's Denise Stoklos and Mexico's Jesusa Rodr?uez, these women are involved in some of Latin America's most important aesthetic and political movements. Of varied racial and ethnic backgrounds, they come from across Latin America-Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Cuba. This volume is generously illustrated with over seventy images. A number of the performance pieces are complemented by essays providing context and analysis.\u003cp\u003eThe performance pieces in \u003ci\u003eHoly Terrors\u003c\/i\u003e are powerful testimonies to the artists' political and personal struggles. These women confront patriarchy, racism, and repressive government regimes and challenge brutality and corruption through a variety of artistic genres. Several have formed theatre collectives-among them FOMMA (a Mayan women's theatre company in Chiapas) and El Teatro de la m疽cara in Colombia. Some draw from cabaret and 'frivolous' theatre traditions to create intense and humorous performances that challenge church and state. Engaging in self-mutilation and abandoning traditional dress, others use their bodies as the platforms on which to stage their defiant critiques of injustice. \u003ci\u003eHoly Terrors\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique English-language presentation of some of Latin America's fiercest, most provocative art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003eSabina Berman\u003cbr\u003eTania Bruguera\u003cbr\u003ePetrona de la Cruz Cruz\u003cbr\u003eDiamela Eltit\u003cbr\u003eGriselda Gambaro\u003cbr\u003eAstrid Hadad\u003cbr\u003eTeresa Hern疣dez\u003cbr\u003eRosa Luisa M疵quez\u003cbr\u003eTeresa Ralli\u003cbr\u003eDiana Raznovich\u003cbr\u003eJesusa Rodr?uez\u003cbr\u003eDenise Stoklos\u003cbr\u003eKatia Tirado\u003cbr\u003eEma Villanueva\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082233240X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822332404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.14w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 2050","brand":"Diana Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120351473919,"sku":"9780822332404","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e11127a-8e61-420f-8ac7-cbd81d7be250.jpg?v=1687413859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holy-terrors-diana-taylor-9780822332404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
