Review
“Loca Motion is a work of intelligent exuberance. Michelle Habell-Pallán has the eyes, ears, and heart to read popular performance, culture, and music as the new archives of Chicana and Latina transnational and translocal histories.”
-Lisa Lowe,UC San Diego
“Offers insight into the dynamics of race, class, gender and sexuality.”
-Hispanic LInk Weekly Report
“Forget about Ricky Martin and Shakira, here come El Vez and Marga Gomez. Habell-Pallán has produced a highly original study of Chicano/Latino popular culture and of its local, national and international dimensions by taking us into the world of alternative and experimental Chicano/Latino art.”
-Arlene Davila,author of Barrio Dreams
