Description: Puro Arte : Filipinos on the Stages of Empire, Paperback by Burns, Lucy Mae San Pablo, ISBN 0814725457, ISBN-13 9780814725450, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Winner of the 2012 Outstanding Book Award in Cultural Studies, Association for Asian American Studies Puro Arte explores the emergence of Filipino American theater and performance from the early 20th century to the present. It stresses the Filipino performing body's location as it conjoins colonial histories of the Philippines with . race relations and discourses of globalization. Puro arte, translated from Spanish into English, simply means &;pure art.&; In Filipino, puro arte however performs a much more ironic function, gesturing rather to the labor of over-acting, histrionics, playfulness, and purely over-the-top dramatics. In this book, puro arte functions as an episteme, a way of approaching the Filipino/a performing body at key moments in imperial relations, from the 1904 St. Louis World&;s Fair, early American plays about the Philippines, Filipino patrons in . taxi dance halls to the phenomenon of Filipino/a actors in Miss Saigon. Using this varied archive, Puro Arte turns to performance as an object of study and as a way of understanding complex historical processes of racialization in relation to empire and colonialism.
