Back of book is a bit worn but otherwise in good condition. Thanks for looking. The New World Border is a carnivalesque inversion of ethnic and geo-political ideology, a disorienting free-fall into the space between cultures and a head-on collision with the real and imagined borders that separate North and South. Hero of a thousand syncretic faces—intercultural interpreter, reverse anthropologist, experimental linguist and political artist of the first order—Guillermo Gómez-Peña has won international acclaim for his efforts to create a hybrid culture and to articulate a borderless ethos. In this new collection of essays, poems and performance texts, Gómez-Peña muses, often tongue-in-cheek, on matters of race, nationality, language and identity. With a heady mix of pop culture, provocative iconography, political satire, ethnic stereotypes and guerrilla theory, he explores "the territory of cultural misunderstanding."
