By rethinking contemporary debates regarding the politics of
aesthetic forms, "Gender and Allegory in Transamerican Fiction and
Performance" explores how allegory can be used to resolve the
"problem" of identity in both political theory and literary
studies. Examining fiction and performance from Zoe Valdes and
Cherrie Moraga to Def Poetry Jam and Carmelita Tropicana, Sugg
suggests that the representational oscillations of allegory can
reflect and illuminate the fraught dynamics of identity discourses
and categories in the Americas. Using a wide array of theoretical
and aesthetic sources from the United States, Latin America, and
the Caribbean, this book argues for the crucial and potentially
transformative role of feminist cultural production in
transamerican public cultures.
