In a series of journal entries-some original passages, others
revisited and expanded in retrospect-Cherrie Moraga details her
experiences with pregnancy, birth, and the early years of lesbian
parenting. With the premature birth of her son-when HIV-related
mortality rates were at their highest-Moraga, a new mother at
40-years-old, was forced to confront the fragile volatility of life
and death; in these recorded dreams and reflections, her terror and
resilience are made palpable. The particular challenges of queer
parenting prove transformative as Moraga navigates her intersecting
roles as mother, child, lover, friend, artist, activist, and more.
With an updated introduction and other additions, including an
afterword by Rafael Angel Moraga, this revised 25th anniversary
edition of Waiting in the Wings is thoughtful and emotive, with
prose that is sharp and beautifully written, from the voice of a
beloved and incomparable writer.
CAMINO IMAGINADO Blue leaves, hojas rotas in the shape of stars. Ni
un "no" en tu vocabulario but for others; blue in place of green in
the shape of Spain. Ojos the color of dirt, chocolate, coffee,
time, azules las horas, hojas de horas van y se van, ni una
palabra, ni una queja, nor broken bit a tu lado beside me andamos
walking, si walking caminamos caminos like these, such streets,
what city. 7/15/95 Paris Xicancuicatl collects the poetry of
leading avant-garde Chicanx poet Alfred Arteaga (1950-2008), whom
French philosopher Gilles Deleuze regarded as "among those rare
poets who are able to raise or shape a new language within their
language." In his five published collections, Arteaga made crucial
breakthroughs in the language of poetry, basing his linguistic
experiments on the multilingual Xicanx culture of the US Southwest.
His formal resources and finely tuned ear for sound patterns and
language play remain astonishing. His poetical work, presented as a
whole here for the first time, speaks more than ever to a moment in
which border-crossing, cultural diversity, language-mixing and a
multi-cultural vision of America are critical issues.
Elizabeth C. Ramirez and Catherine Casiano bring together a
collection of plays and performance pieces by innovative Latina
playwrights. Surveying Latina theatre in the United States from the
1980s to the twenty-first century, the editors present works
displaying a variety of forms, themes, and genres, expanding the
field of Latina theatre while situating it in the larger spectrum
of American stage and performance studies. Ramirez and Casiano
provide historical context and a production history for each work
and a biography of, and artistic statement from, each playwright.
