Race, Sex, and Stardom
Rutgers University Press
Dance and the Hollywood Latina asks why every Latina star in Hollywood history, from Dolores Del Rio in the 1920s to Jennifer Lopez in the 2000s, began as a dancer or danced onscreen.

Yet some Latina actresses became stars by embracing and manipulating these stereotypical fantasies.
