Staging an important new conversation between performers and
critics, Blacktino Queer Performance approaches the interrelations
of blackness and Latinidad through a stimulating mix of theory and
art. The collection contains nine performance scripts by
established and emerging black and Latina/o queer playwrights and
performance artists, each accompanied by an interview and critical
essay conducted or written by leading scholars of black, Latina/o,
and queer expressive practices. As the volume's framing device,
"blacktino" grounds the specificities of black and brown social and
political relations while allowing the contributors to maintain the
goals of queer-of-color critique. Whether interrogating
constructions of Latino masculinity, theorizing the black queer
male experience, or examining black lesbian relationships, the
contributors present blacktino queer performance as an artistic,
critical, political, and collaborative practice. These scripts,
interviews, and essays not only accentuate the value of blacktino
as a reading device; they radiate the possibilities for thinking
through the concepts of blacktino, queer, and performance across
several disciplines. Blacktino Queer Performance reveals the
inevitable flirtations, frictions, and seductions that mark the
contours of any ethnoracial love affair. Contributors. Jossiana
