{"product_id":"puerto-rican-cultural-identity-and-john-dimitri-perivolaris-9780807892725","title":"Puerto Rican Cultural Identity and the Work of Luis Rafael S疣chez","description":"This book undertakes the most comprehensive and theoretically rigorous examination to date of Luis Rafael Sanchez's work in the context of cultural politics in Puerto Rico, and of the international and regional dimensions of Sanchez's work in relation to the unique status of Puerto Rico as a commonwealth and colony. It explores Sanchez's ambivalent position as a member of an intellectual elite, a spokesman for \u003ci\u003eel pueblo\u003c\/i\u003e, and a Puerto Rican mulatto whose working-class background allows him to highlight unprecedented possibilities for political agency within popular and mass culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough analyses of Sanchez's theater, prose, and essays, John Perivolaris examines continuing struggles to define Puerto Rican cultural identity. His detailed readings illuminate Sanchez's ironically humorous deployment of traditionally conservative paradigms of national and individual identity in his postcolonial critique of racialization, gender, sexuality, and Hispanism in the colony. This study fills a long-standing need for an introduction to the work of a major Caribbean and Latin American writer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Dimitri Perivolaris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807892726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807892725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unc Department of Romance Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.08w x 0.53d","brand":"John Dimitri Perivolaris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44809634185471,"sku":"9780807892725","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_639f708f-6629-48d5-9545-334b5581e920.jpg?v=1707927043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/puerto-rican-cultural-identity-and-john-dimitri-perivolaris-9780807892725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
