Rezensionen

Marginality Beyond Return takes marginality as a keyword in part because of the ways in which Cuban theater and its historiography falls out of the teleological understanding of Latinx/e theater, which is itself based more clearly on Chicane or Nuyorican models of transformation. The contribution of the book is less one of learning something new about Cuban identity and more Manzor's contribution to thinking about how theater was important to and registered many shifts in Cuban identity over the years, which changes the history/historiography of Latino theatre history.

Patricia Ybarra, Professor of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies, Brown University

Groundbreaking and deeply researched, Marginality beyond Return's comprehensive study of US Cuban theater and performance uncovers little-known archival ephemera and moves skillfully between theory, sociocultural context, theater historiography, and textual and performance analysis to show how performance enacts a US Cuban "identity-in-difference." The book is an invaluable contribution to Latino cultural studies.
