Where it came from
Published in 2016 by Vanderbilt University Press, Creating Carmen Miranda explores the life and cultural impact of the iconic performer, focusing on how she navigated the complexities of international stardom and the intersection of Brazilian identity and American show business. Author Kathryn Bishop-Sanchez provides a critical examination of Miranda's professional evolution, placing her career within the broader context of the Good Neighbor Policy and the evolving nature of transnational performance during the mid-20th century.
The book is a scholarly endeavor aimed at deconstructing the 'Carmen Miranda' persona that was famously commodified by the Hollywood studio system. By analyzing her film roles, musical career, and public image, Bishop-Sanchez illuminates the tension between Miranda's agency as an artist and the reductive stereotypes often imposed upon her. It is regarded as a significant contribution to the fields of Latin American studies and film history, valued for its rigorous research into the mechanisms of celebrity and cultural representation.
