Chicanas/Latinas in American Theatre: A History of Performance. By Elizabeth C. Ramirez. (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2000. xix + 188 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $42.95, cloth; $17.95, paper.)

In the past three years there have been several publications addressing the involvement of Chicanas and Latinas in performance. These volumes indicate the burgeoning interest in Chicano/Latino theater in general, as evidenced in the March 2000 edition of Theatre Journal, an issue dedicated to Latino performance and several recently published books on the subject. Chicanas/Latinas in American Theatre clearly fills a gap in the historical analysis of the role of Chicanas and Latinas on the American stage. Elizabeth Ramirez traces the evolution of Latina/o theatre from its pre-Columbian roots through the Mexican Revolution and the consequent flourishing of Spanish-language performance in the American Southwest. She then examines the re-emergence of a Latino theatrical tradition in the 1960s and the evolution of Latina performance to its current state of prominence. . . .
