I Mestiz@ Scripts and the Rhetoric of Subversion Notes I Mestiz@ Scripts and the Rhetoric of Subversion 1. The expression “mestizaje” is a highly contested semantic marker associated with Mexican nationalism and Jose Vasconcelos’ La Raza Cósmica (1945), which forwards an elitist assumption of “mixed-blood” peoples. Some additional readings are De Castro, Juan. Mestizo Nations: Culture, Race, and Conformity in Latin American Literature. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2002. Miller, Marilyn Grace. Rise and Fall of the Cosmic Race: The Cult of Mestizaje in Latin America. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2004. Swarthout, Kelly. Assimilating the Primitive: Parallel Dialogues on Racial Miscegenation in Revolutionary Mexico. New York: Peterlang, 2004. 2. “Hispanic” is a bureaucratic invention for census purposes. For this reason, some Mestiz@s prefer other identifiers. Still, “Hispanic” is commonly used today, both inside and outside the community. 3. U.S. Census Bureau. “Census 2000 Brief, March 2001, and National Population Estimates.” U.S. Census Bureau, Population Division, Ethnic & Hispanic Statistics Branch, 2006. http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/hispanic/ho06.html. Accessed January 17, 2008. 4. The phrase as a collective cultural expression is inspired by “Indo-Hispano,” from the work of New Mexican writers E.A. Mares, Tomás Atencio, and Enrique Lamadrid. I recommend the following publications for a further explanation of Indo-Hispano cultures: Lamadrid, Enrique. “Luz y Sombra: The Poetics of Mestizo Identity.” Nuevo México Profundo: Rituals of an Indo-Hispano Homeland.

This book, the final work of a noted rhetorician and scholar, examines the history and development of English studies, and the economic and social changes that affect the understanding of the humanities today. Noting that while rhetoric once held a central place in the college curriculum, the book describes how rhetoric became marginalized in college English departments as the study of literature assumed greater status in the 20th century--a result of the shift in decision-making in practical and political matters from the "citizenry" to university-trained experts. The first section of the book provides relevant historical background and explores the political uses of English as a discipline. The second section, "The Postmodern Predicament," shifts the focus to the contemporary scene. The third section, "Students and Teachers," explores the general guidelines recommend3d for the pedagogy of a refigured English studies.

  • On Luis Valdez
    ashley lucas university of north carolina at chapel hill Reinventing the Pachuco The Radical Transformation from the Criminalized to the Heroic in Luis Valdez’s Play Zoot Suit n 12 January 1943, at the highly publicized Sleepy Lagoon mur- der trial, a court wrongly convicted seventeen young men from Othe 38th Street neighborhood for murder and assault associated with the death of a young Mexican American named José Díaz.1 Th e Zoot Suit Riots occurred later that spring when members of the U.S. Navy and Marines attacked Mexican American youths, beat them, and stripped them naked in the streets of Los Angeles.2 In 1978, Luis Valdez’s landmark play Zoot Suit opened at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles and in doing so became the first professionally produced Chicana/o play.3 All three events reflect the performance of terror in Mexican American communities and the processes of racial othering that create that terror. In his book Stages of Terror: Terrorism, Ideology, and Coercion as Th eatre History, Anthony Kubiak describes the fundamental links between the performance of terror in life to the performance of terror in theater and the media.4 He sees acts of terror as necessarily taking place in view of a specific audience, those being terrorized. Acts committed with the intention of inspiring terror in others possess a theatrical or performative quality; they put on a show to elicit the specific emotional response of terror. This article examines the ways in which the play Zoot Suit reshapes performances of terror from the Journal for the Study of Radicalism, Vol.
