"This insightful collection of essays on Mexican American theatre in the United States should prove indispensable to students of that field... Mexican American Theater is more than an overview of history and its personalities; it is a penetrating collection that dispels myths and opens new areas of study."
--Latin American Theatre Review
"This is a key work that uncovers the roots of the Chicano theatre in the Southwest... Through research in newspapers published in the Southwestern U.S., Kanellos proves that the teatro campesino [farmer's theatre] is a continuation of a most important cultural element that has gone through different periods of development from the first half of the XIX century... he provides specific titles of books, names of authors, actors and actresses in a nostalgic panorama of the artistic life in the Southwest."
