Sugg, Katherine.

Gender and allegory in transamerican fiction and performance[electronic resource] /Katherine Sugg. - 1st ed. - New York, NY :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xviii, 241 p. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [217]-227) and index.

Cultural Politics in Trans-America: Identity, Narrativity, and Allegory -- "The Ultimate Rebellion": The Political Fictions of Chicana Sexuality and Community -- Apocalyptic Modernities: Transamerican Allegory,Revolution, and Indigeneity in Almanac of the Dead -- Allegory and Transcultural Narrative Ethics: Difference and Storytelling in Rosario Castellanos's Oficio de Tinieblas -- Encrypted Diasporas: Writing, Affect,and the Nation in Zoe Valdes's Cafe Nostalgia -- Performing Suspended Migrations: Novels and Spoken Word by U.S. Latinas -- Gender and Narrative Pedagogies in the Americas.

By rethinking contemporary debates regarding the politics of aesthetic forms, Gender and Allegory in Transamerican Fiction and Performance explores how allegory can be used to resolve the "problem" of identity in both political theory and literary studies. Examining fiction and performance from Zoe Valdes and Cherrie Moraga to Def Poetry Jam and Carmelita Tropicana, Sugg suggests that the representational oscillations of allegory can reflect and illuminate the fraught dynamics of identitydiscourses and categories in the Americas. Using a wide array of theoretical and aesthetic sources from the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean, this book argues for the crucial and potentially transformative role of feminist cultural production in transamerican public cultures.
