The World of Lucha Libre
''The World of Lucha Libre: Secrets, Revelations, and Mexican National Identity'' is a book, published in 2008, by Heather Levi.〔BiblioVault: A Scholarly Book Repository, May 7, 2011. http://www.bibliovault.org/BV.book.epl?BookId=20906&detail=Description〕 The book is an account of lucha libre, a term used in Mexico for a form of professional wrestling.〔 From her perspective of the inner workings of lucha libre, Levi observes this form of wrestling as a cultural performance, an occupational subculture, and a set of symbols that circulate through Mexican culture and politics.〔 Additionally, Levi “argues that lucha libre stages the contradictions at the heart of Mexican national identity,” which include “the rural and the urban, tradition and modernity, ritual and parody, machismo and feminism, politics and spectacle.”〔
==Chapter 1: Staging Contradiction==
Levi begins with an introductory chapter emphasizing lucha libre to be a practice of staging contradictions.〔Ferry, Elizabeth Emma. “Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.” Online Library. Volume 16, Issue 2. Web. May 6, 2010. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9655.2010.01632_44.x/pdf〕 In this section, Levi argues that lucha libre “occupies a space somewhere between sport, ritual, and theater and is thus capable of drawing its power from all of those genres.”〔Levi, Heather. ''The World of Lucha Libre: Secrets, Revelations, and Mexican National Identity.'' Duke University Press. 2008.〕 The chapter offers a simple view of lucha libre; two or more wrestlers enter a boxing ring to put on a fighting show that ends only when one of them is pinned down or surrenders.〔 Levi, however, expands lucha libre to be a “complex performance that integrates a range of ideas about agency, power, modernity, gender, and national culture.”〔
