The period 1965-1970 was one of intense theatrical production in the region. Dozens of major playwrights and collective theaters produced hundreds of highly original plays. This was also a period of profound ideological and sociopolitical transformation. Hopes for Latin American self-definition and self-determination after centuries of colonization and foreign exploitation began to crumble, while the right-wing backlash produced a politics of terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this dynamic study, Diana Taylor proposes that, for all the diversity of peoples, languages, and cultural images in Latin America, the effects of crisis on the region's theatre are surprisingly uniform. As a cultural subsystem, theatre is both a product of and a commentary on the making and dismantling of society at large. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eTheatre of Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e is an important source of information for Latin Americanists as well as theatre specialists and literary critics interested in this virtually unexplored field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDiana Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of Spanish and comparative literature at Dartmouth College.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53458327896371,"sku":"9780813154978","price":42.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/0746\/3731\/files\/7NfYHqODWu9780813154978.webp?v=1783113488","url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/theatre-of-crisis-drama-and-politics-in-latin-america-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
