Description

Front Cover; Copyright Page; Contents; Foreword; Preface to the Second Edition; Act One; Acto Sugundo; Appendix: Dialect Tape; Notes; Acknowledgments.;Fuelled by equal parts outrage, intelligence, and wit, Fronteras Americanas recreates one person's struggle to construct a home between two cultures, while exploding the images and constructs built up around Latinos and Latin America. This one-person play works through bold juxtapositions and satiric reference points: Simón Bolívar and Speedy Gonzales; Columbus and Fodor's travel guides; Ricky Ricardo and the Latin Lover; La Bamba and Placido Domingo; Carlos Fuentes and American drug-war movies. Verdecchia twirls stereotypes and clichés, offers comparative histories, examine.
