While cinematic depictions of women and minorities have seemingly improved, a century of representing brown women as natural dancers has popularized the notion that Latinas are inherently passionate and promiscuous. Yet some Latina actresses became stars by embracing and manipulating these stereotypical fantasies.<\/p>\n<div>\u201cIntroducing the concepts of \u201cinbetween-ness\u201d and \u201cracial mobility\u201d to further illuminate how racialized sexuality and the dancing female body operate in film, Priscilla Pe\u00f1a Ovalle focuses on the careers of Dolores Del Rio, Rita Hayworth, Carmen Miranda, Rita Moreno, and Jennifer Lopez. Dance and the Hollywood Latina helps readers better understand how the United States grapples with race, gender, and sexuality through dancing bodies on screen.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dance and the Hollywood Latina a new book by Priscilla Pe\u00f1a Ovalle UO assistant professor of film and media studies and a CSWS affiliate Now available from Rutgers University Press From the Rutgers University Press website: \u201cDance and the Hollywood&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/priscilla-pena-ovalle-dance-and-the-hollywood-latina\/\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,17,38,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-faculty-affiliates","category-films","category-research"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6804"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32530,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6804\/revisions\/32530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
