  abstract: "Drawing from her scholarly background in performance, literary studies, and cultural studies, Irene Mata traces how Latinx performance art intersects with the work of recent activism on issues affecting Latinx communities. One way of doing this is by understanding that while performance itself is often ephemeral and "in the moment," building an archive of knowledge of how these performances are created and used as an important roadmap for community activism for current and future artists. She also argues that written knowledge of these performances is important as a tool of mentorship, particularly for students, performers, and scholars of color, who may have less access to mentorship, that recognizes their needs and backgrounds. By comparing older texts to new ones, such as with Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues to Virginia Grise and Irma Mayorga's The Panza Monologues, Mata is able to explore the similarities between the texts and performances of each piece, while also diving deeper into understanding the ways that Panza situates itself in telling stories of marginalized communities that are/were rarely represented on stages. Not all of the forms of performance in the manuscript take place in a theater--others, such as the 2012 No Papers, No Fear Ride for Justice, combine performance traditions with activism in advocating for undocumented communities in the U.S. that draw inspiration from the Freedom Riders bus trips into the Deep South in the Civil Rights era. Another fascinating study considers the history of lowriding and how it has created a space for community and collaboration among many different marginalized groups."--
