Examining fiction and performance from Zo\u00e9 Vald\u00e9s and Cherr\u00ede Moraga to Def Poetry Jam and Carmelita Tropicana, Sugg suggests that the representational oscillations of allegory can reflect and illuminate the fraught dynamics of identity discourses 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. <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gender-Allegory-Transamerican-Fiction-Performance\/dp\/0230604765\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1332708931&#038;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/Gender-Allegory-Transamerican-Fiction-Performance\/dp\/0230604765\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books-intl-de&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1332708721&#038;sr=1-1\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sugg, Katherine. <em>Gender and Allegory in Transamerican Fiction and Performance<\/em>.
