Original bilingual plays are provided alongside their translation, as well as performance notes and accompanying scholarly discussion from Laurence Wensel. This collection continues the tradition of Chicano theatre, expanding upon its themes and focusing on the struggles of migration. By applying the critical lens of space, place, and non-place to each of the plays, the book explores movement, border issues, and reveals the universality of experience along the border. Grouped by location, the plays examine people, language, culture, and identity across Laredo (Texas), in-between places, imaginary spaces, land dramas, and returning home. The compilation challenges what it means to be a citizen of the \u003ci\u003eFrontera\u003c\/i\u003e\/Borderlands and reveals migration to be an activity that is often undertaken without consideration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection provides an invaluable contribution to students and scholars of Chicano and Latinx theatre and performance, as well as those interested in theatre of the borderlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Wensel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041127162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041127161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Laurence Wensel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623531622655,"sku":"9781041127161","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perambulations-laurence-wensel-9781041127161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
