Performing Spanishness

"The analysis of Rodríguez Méndez's work from the late 1950s to the mid-70s is enriched by detailed evidence from censors' reports, providing fascinating case studies of the unpredictability of censorship under a dictatorial regime. Some of the most powerful plays banned during that time have been revived since 1975, and the book includes discussion of these influential productions. All quotations in Spanish are translated into English."--Back cover.
