Thursday 25 October 2001


Interdisciplinary artist and writer Coco Fusco is one of North America's 
leading interpreters of intercultural theory and practice. The Bodies That 
Were Not Ours- gathers Fusco’s finest writings since 1995, and includes 
critical essays by Jean Fisher and Caroline Vercoe.

Engaging and provocative, this collection of essays, interviews, performance 
scripts and foto novelas takes the reader on a tour of our current 
multicultural landscape. Fusco explores such issues as Frantz Fanon's 
theorization of metropolitan blackness, sex tourism in Cuba as a barometer of 
the island's entry into the global economy, and artistic and net activist 
responses to the effects of free trade on the Mexican populace. 

Fusco, whose previous publications include English is Broken Here (New Press, 
1995) and Corpus Delecti (Routledge, 1999) interviews such postcolonial 
personae as Isaac Julien, Hilton Als and Tracey Moffatt. Approaching the 
dynamics of cultural fusion from many angles, Fusco's satires, commentaries 
and sociological inquiries collapse boundaries, forming a sustained 
meditation on how the forces of globalisation impact upon the making of art.
