Traveler, There Is No Road offers a compelling and complex vision
of the decolonial imagination in the United States from 1931 to
1943 and beyond. By examining the ways in which the war of
interpretation that accompanied the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)
circulated through Spanish- and English-language theatre and
performance in the United States, Lisa Jackson-Schebetta
demonstrates that these works offered alternative histories that
challenged the racial, gender, and national orthodoxies of
modernity/coloniality. Jackson-Schebetta shows how performance in
the US used histories of American empires, Islamic legacies, and
African and Atlantic trades to fight against not only fascism and
imperialism in the 1930s and 1940s, but modernity/coloniality
itself. This book offers a unique perspective on 1930s theatre and
performance, encompassing the theatrical work of the Cuban, Puerto
Rican, and Spanish diasporas in the United States, as well as the
better-known Anglophone communities. Jackson-Schebetta situates
well-known figures, such as Langston Hughes and Clifford Odets,
alongside lesser-known ones, such as Erasmo Vando, Franca de
Armino, and Manuel Aparicio. The milicianas, female soldiers of the
Spanish Republic, stride on stage alongside the male fighters of
the Lincoln Brigade. They and many others used the multiple visions
of Spain forged during the civil war to foment decolonial practices
across the pasts, presents, and futures of the Americas. Traveler
conclusively demonstrates that theatre and performance scholars
must position US performances within the Americas writ broadly, and
in doing so they must recognize the centrality of the hemisphere's
longest-lived colonial power, Spain.
