Produktbeschreibung
Drama. Latino/Latina Studies. In this third volume of plays by CherrAAe L. Moraga, we confront the changing California landscape of the 1990s, as anti-immigration, anti-youth and English Only legislation sweep across the farmworker towns and urban communities of the state. Both plays were developed through interviews conducted with residents in the two towns of Watsonville and East Palo Alto. Both towns stand in the shadow of the first culture of the University: East Palo Alto is a poor neighborhood of Stanford University south of San Francisco, while Watsonville, further south, has seen the University of California at Santa Cruz devour the nearby Pacific shoreline. In vividly realized drama, Moraga shows the communities mounting their own bold resistance to cultural domination and the threat of economic enslavement. The indigenous and feminist consciousness of the two communities brings them together to struggle against their oppressors, from within and without.
