Summary Annotation <div><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Jos&#233; Mar&#237;a Rodr&#237;guez M&#233;ndez is a noted playwright, an acerbic cultural critic, and a political dissident under Franco. In<i>Performing Spanishness</i>, the first English-language examination of M&#233;ndez&#8217;s life and work, Michael Thompson sets the playwright&#8217;s lifelong struggle against censorship in the context of Spain&#8217;s shifting national identity.
