DESCRIPTION:Popular Theater\, Youth and Empowerment on Two Continents Panel
 ists: José Miguel Hernandez Program Director\, La Joven Guardia del Teatro
  Latino\, Syracuse Christen Smith Assistant Professor of Anthropology\, Un
 iversity of Texas at Austin In recent years\, popular theater has been inc
 reasingly used throughout the world as a way to empower youth\, raise cons
 ciousness\, articulate public issues and organize for social change. This 
 panel considers two cases of popular theatre: Choque Cultural in Salvador\
 , Brazil\, that focuses on the issues of racism and police brutality\; and
  La Joven Guardia del Teatro Latino in Syracuse\, that focuses on raising 
 the self-esteem of Latino youth. Because the program in Salvador is more s
 elf-consciously political than the program in Syracuse\, this panel will r
 aise important questions about the nature of “politics” and the role of th
 e arts in social change. This panel is part of the Re-Imagining the Americ
 as Conference Series. For more information \, visit ww.maxwell.syr.edu/moy
