| Abstract | "Over the decades, lucha libre has become a symbol of Mexico, transcending the nation's borders. Halfway between sport and religion, this synthesis of Hispanic, Aztec, European, and American represents the quintessence of Mexican culture. The luchador is a living god, and products in his image are idolized like sacred relics. A symbol of urban working-class culture, the significance of lucha libre is massive. In this bilingual book, the best Mexican specialists analyze all facets of the phenomenon : the history and roots of the sport, the most important luchadores, the way the world of Mexican wrestling is organized, the history and practice of female wrestling, the meaning of the masks and costume, and lucha libre's influence in worldwide pop culture."-- Provided by publisher. |
