Abstract

This essay argues that the cartography of latinidad generally locates US Latinas/os in either urban or border regions. In order to disrupt that spatial placing, this essay proposes “performance cartography,” a method that relies on storytelling, to disrupt the dominant configuration of latinidad. Through a series of family stories about being Latina/o in rural Nebraska, this essay shifts understandings of Latina/o performativity by emphasizing the importance space makes in producing different kinds of subjects. Although the author notes connections between urban, border, and rural conceptions of latinidad, this essay urges a more careful consideration of alternative spaces.
