Olga Rodriguez-Ulloa is an assistant professor of American studies and Latino studies at Indiana University, Bloomington. She is a coeditor of Punk! Las Américas Edition, an anthology on hemispheric punk.

"Sadistic Cholas is a brilliant and field-defining contribution to Latin American studies, intervening with contemporary conversations concerning feminist, queer, and trans movements as they have developed over the past two decades in Latin America. With clear and erudite writing, Olga Rodriguez-Ulloa makes a rigorous case for turning to the figure of the sadistic chola in contemporary feminist Peruvian politics and culture. This is a stunning and necessary book in this moment of urgency." - Iván A. Ramos, Brown University, author of Unbelonging: Inauthentic Sounds in Mexican and Latinx Aesthetics"Sadistic Cholas crosses disciplinary, historical, and national borders, offering a theoretically sophisticated and innovative contribution to feminist and gender studies, Latin American studies, and violence studies. Through a deep engagement with the work of selected contemporary, post-conflict artists and activists, Olga Rodriguez-Ulloa disrupts common imaginings of cholas, the body, and of Peruvian society and Peruvian history more broadly." - M. Cristina Alcalde, Miami University, author of Peruvian Lives across Borders: Power, Exclusion, and Home
