Opis

This book articulates a communicative praxis for resisting multiple forms of oppression by showing how everyday performances of identity and culture challenge master narratives of power and control. As an emancipatory tool, it recenters nonheteronormative Latinx experience difference as a managed form of queer of color worldmaking.

Recenzje

"Joteri a Communication Studies: Narrating Theories of Resistance represents the sophistication of a critical, performative approach to Intercultural Communication that examines complex and contradictory intersections among culture, power, and communication. The way Gutierrez-Perez methodologically centers women of color feminism, queer of color criticism, and decoloniality to study the historically saturated and culturally specific nuances of GBTQ Chicanos and Latinos is very noteworthy. Most important, Gutierrez-Perez unapologetically centers his body as a site of knowing to showcase the performative, creative, and radical aspects of academic knowledge productions that disrupts the power and privilege of (social) science. And this book is fun, cutting-edge, and intellectual just like who Gutierrez-Perez is." -Shinsuke Eguchi, Associate Professor, Department of Communication & Journalism, University of New Mexico
