Taylor’s strong and thoughtful introduction sets the tone for a challenging reflection on the pitfalls of a multiculturalist stance (be it purely commercial or naively sympathetic) that blithely incorporates, homogenizes, and dispatches differences without ever dwelling on the more profound implications of those differences in U. S. culture today.\"—Sylvia Molloy, New York University\u003cbr\u003e\"The attractiveness of \u003ci\u003eNegotiating Performance\u003c\/i\u003e lies exactly in the boldness of including a diverse group of essays, each of which speaks with its own voice. It will provide valuable insights into areas of contemporary interest in theatre studies.\"—George Woodyard, University of Kansas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e Opening Remarks \/ Diana Taylor \u003cbr\u003e The Multicultural Paradigm: An Open Letter to the National Arts Community \/ Guillermo Gomez-Pena \u003cbr\u003e Art in America con Acento \/ Cherrie Moraga \u003cbr\u003e Looking for the Magic: Chicanos in the Mainstream \/ Jorge Huerta \u003cbr\u003e Staging AIDS: What's Latinos Got To Do With It? \/ Alberto Sandoval \u003cbr\u003e Border\u003ci\u003e Boda\u003c\/i\u003e or Divorce\u003ci\u003e Fronterizo\u003c\/i\u003e? \/ Marguerite Waller \u003cbr\u003e Seduced and Abandoned: Chicanas and Lesbians in Representation \/ Sue-Ellen Case \u003cbr\u003e Public Art, Performance Art, and the politics of Site \/ Maria Teresa Marrero \u003cbr\u003e \"Salvacion Casita\": Puerto Rican Performance and Vernacular Architecture in the South Bronx \/ Juan Flores \u003cbr\u003e Inventions and Transgressions: A Fractured Narrative on Feminist Theatre in Mexico \/ Kirsten F.
