Through what the author terms performative activism, Quixote-inspired theater companies and nongovernmental organizations deploy a model for rewriting and enacting new social roles for underprivileged youth. Unique in its transatlantic, cross-historical, and community-based approach, \u003ci\u003eLiving Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e offers both a new reading of \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e and an applied model for cultural activism-a model based, in ways reminiscent of Paulo Freire, on the transformative potential of performance, literature, and art.","brand":"Vanderbilt University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55634857001304,"sku":"9780826522696","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780826522696_f0a774c6-2163-41d6-b357-9f2a5683c7e1.jpg?v=1777995030","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/living-quixote","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
