Abstract

Examines cultural, economic, and media-conventional factors that precluded the Brazilian children’s television performer and singer Xuxa, who in the early 1990s circulated as a transnational media star across Latin American, Europe, and Asia, from achieving crossover success in US English-language children’s programming, compared to North American Spanish broadcast channels.
