Who Was Cock Robin? A New Reading Of Erna Brodber's Jane And Louisa Will Soon Come Home, Daryl Cumber Dance
English Faculty Publications
Much has been written about the quest of Brodber's protagonist Nellie for identity, for wholeness, for balance, for sanity, for finding her way back home into the community. Nellie's efforts to find herself and to integrate into the community will be easier, Brodber declared in a speech in 1988, "when Jane and Louisa come home, i.e., when the women find themselves" (Notes). Brodber also observed in that same speech, "'coming' rather than 'being' is the appropriate action word with which to address the issue of integration into the community," a fact suggested by the game that gives the title to …

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
El presente volumen vuelve sobre cuestiones muchas veces visitadas por Diana Taylor: las respuestas expresivo-políticas a la guerra sucia en Argentina; nuevas expresiones teatrales latinoamericanas, performáticas (Coco Fusco, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Denise Stoklos) y no performáticas (Emilio Carballido); las recientes identidades de "lo latino" en los Estados Unidos; y las relaciones entre producción teatral, acción política, y género. La importante novedad de este volumen es su definitiva intención teórica: construir un instrumento crítico que, aunque inspirado en la tradición crítica teatral, supere ese espacio de aplicación para constituirse en medio idóneo para el análisis cultural (episteme y praxis); y la afirmación, …

As Latinas with diverse biographies in and out of the university,1 we share a commitment to actively engage with all of our communities. As students and teachers, we are expected to leave our personal lives out of our "intellectual" workspaces, causing feelings of isolation and fragmentation (hooks, 1994). We are concerned with the ways we can maintain a sense of connection and wholeness for our well-being and that of our communities. Our collaboration with the National Latina Health Organization's (NLH0)2 Intergenerational Latina Health Leadership Project has enabled us to work toward this goal. This project provides a revolutionary …

In Search Of Nella Larsen: A Biography Of The Color Line By George Hutchinson (Book Review), Daryl Cumber Dance
English Faculty Publications
With In Search of Nella Larsen, George Hutchinson makes the third major attempt to provide a biography of the elusive Harlem Renaissance author Nella Larsen (1891-1964), the mulatto daughter of immigrants from Denmark and the Danish West Indies whose life and fiction were shaped largely by her mixed emotions about her racial heritage and her feelings of abandonment by her white mother, stepfather, and sister. In his introduction, Hutchinson makes much of the errors of prior Larsen biographers Charles R. Larson (Invisible Darkness: Jean Toomer and Nella Larsen [1993]) and Thadious M. Davis (Nella Larsen, Novelist of …
