The Nuyorican Poets Cafe 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. The
Cafe'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. Through archival research
and interview, Nuyorican Feminist Performance examines the
contributions of 1970s and '80s performeras and how they challenged
the Cafe's gender politics. It also looks at recent artists who
have built on that foundation with hip hop performances that speak
to contemporary audiences. The book spotlights the work of
foundational artists such as Sandra Maria Esteves, Martita Morales,
Luz Rodriguez, and Amina Munoz, before turning to contemporary
artists La Bruja, Mariposa, Aya de Leon, and Nilaja Sun, who infuse
their poetry and solo pieces with both Nuyorican and hip hop
aesthetics.
