Performance in the Borderlands - Paperback

by R. Rivera-Servera (Editor), H. Young (Editor)

A border is a force of containment that inspires dreams of being overcome and crossed; motivates bodies to climb over; and threatens physical harm. This book critically examines a range of cultural performances produced in relation to the tensions and movements of/about the borders dividing North America, including the Caribbean.
