Sobre IBD

José María Rodríguez Méndez is a noted playwright, an acerbic cultural critic, and a political dissident under Franco. In Performing Spanishness, the first English-language examination of Méndez’s life and work, Michael Thompson sets the playwright’s lifelong struggle against censorship in the context of Spain’s shifting national identity. Méndez’s work presents ’Spanishness’ not as a static trait, but as an ongoing performance; Performing Spanishness is an indispensable resource to those interested in theatre, Spain, and the relationship between art and activism.
