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

Industry Reviews
"Thompson is able to reveal the more nuanced thinking of a subject whose work squarely addresses questions of where Spanish identity lies, taking against the perceived indiscriminate internationalism of the avantgarde to excavate Spanishness, whilst at the same time attempting to seize it from hegemonic and homogenizing discourses." - Helena Buffery, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies "Performing Spanishness can be considered a valuable contribution to twentieth-century Spanish theatre studies and a resource for those interested in debates on social and cultural history and Spanish national identities." - Catherine O'Leary, Contemporary Theatre Review
