Annotation "Will be a 'must read' for anyone studying performance art or the art and culture of Southern California. ... Cheng is a brilliant and original thinker and. . . writes with a lively, engaged and engaging poetic style through which she attempts to enact the very passion and performativity that she explores in her objects of study."--Amelia Jones, author of "Body Art/Performing the Subject " "Dazzling on many levels, a major contribution not only to performance art scholarship but more generally to contemporary American art, feminist, and cultural studies. ... "In Other Los Angeleses "is going to transform performance studies because of the richness of Cheng's facts and scholarship and the equal richness of her theoretical frameworks and references."--Moira Roth, author of "Difference Indifference."
