Interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco is one of North Americas leading interpreters of intercultural theory and practice. This volume gathers together her finest writings since 1995 and includes critical essays by Jean Fisher and Caroline Vercoe that interpret her work.Engaging and provocative; these essays; interviews; performance scripts and fotonovelas take readers on a tour of our current multicultural landscape. Fusco explores such issues as sex tourism in Cuba as a barometer of the islands entry into the global economy; Frantz Fanons theorization of metropolitan blackness; and artistic and net activist responses to the effects of free trade on the Mexican populace. She interviews such postcolonial personnae as Isaac Julien; Hilton Als and Tracey Moffatt. Approaching the dynamics of cultural fusion from many angles; Fuscos satires; commentaries; and sociological inquiries collapse boundaries; and form a sustained meditation on how the forces of globalization impact upon the making of art.
