{"product_id":"nuyorican-feminist-performance-patricia-herrera-9780472074488","title":"Nuyorican Feminist Performance: From the Café to Hip Hop Theater","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Nuyorican Poets Café has for the past forty years provided a space for multicultural artistic expression and a platform for the articulation of Puerto Rican and black cultural politics. The Café's performances--poetry, music, hip hop, comedy, and drama--have been studied in detail, but until now, little attention has been paid to the voices of its women artists. Through archival research and interview, \u003ci\u003e Nuyorican Feminist Performance \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the contributions of 1970s and '80s \u003ci\u003eperformeras\u003c\/i\u003e and how they challenged the Café's gender politics. It also looks at recent artists who have built on that foundation with hip hop performances that speak to contemporary audiences. The book spotlights the work of foundational artists such as Sandra María Esteves, Martita Morales, Luz Rodríguez, and Amina Muñoz, before turning to contemporary artists La Bruja, Mariposa, Aya de León, and Nilaja Sun, who infuse their poetry and solo pieces with both Nuyorican and hip hop aesthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Herrera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472074482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472074488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Patricia Herrera","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940959191295,"sku":"9780472074488","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4068458b-1081-46d8-a318-da3efed4893a.jpg?v=1681450118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nuyorican-feminist-performance-patricia-herrera-9780472074488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
