Nuyorican Feminist Performance: From the Caf to Hip Hop Theater Herrera Patricia
The Nuyorican Poets Caf 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. Through archival research and interview, Nuyorican Feminist Performance examines the contributions of 1970s and '80s performeras and how they challenged the Caf 's gender politics. The Caf '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.
The book spotlights the work of foundational artists such as Sandra Mar a Esteves, Martita Morales, Luz Rodr guez, and Amina Mu oz, before turning to contemporary artists La Bruja, Mariposa, Aya de Le It also looks at recent artists who have built on that foundation with hip hop performances that speak to contemporary audiences.
