Teatro y diáspora: Testimonios escénicos latinoamericanos,
by
Beatriz Rizk, studies Latin American diaspora and exile, especially during
the XXth-century, and their representation methods in dramatic as well
as performance texts, embedding them in historical, ideological and cultural
contexts.
With
an extensive number of examples drawn from Latin American and the Latino
communities in the U.S.’s dramatic and theatrical texts, Beatriz Rizk’s
book offers the most complete and holistic view of the topic of the diaspora
and exile in the theatre. Aside from including what has been traditionally
thought as exile theatre, Teatro y diáspora devotes
sections to Cuban exile theatre, the Jewish cultures in Latin America,
and the Latino/a experience as an alternative.
Teatro
y diáspora: Testimonios escénicos latinoamericanos constitutes
a significant contribution to the understanding of the production of social
values and representations developed from the perspective of the different
and the multiple diasporas, past and present, from within and outside Latin
America.
