Fusco's Legacy
Fusco's performance art is rooted in various topics like gender, colonialism, and Cuban culture.

Leah Garland's novel Contemporary Latino/a performing arts of Moraga, Tropicana, Fusco, and Bustamante (2009) explores Fusco's work in the context of other Latin@ contemporary performance artists. It dissects how Fusco and her peers challenge the heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon, male standards of the art world. The book also highlights the implications of performance artwork on Latin@ culture and its goal as a vehicle for education and awareness.

Writing and Teaching
Fusco's repertoire also includes numerous journal articles. "The Other History of Intercultural Performance" (1994) offers a direct connection between her performance works with Guillermo Gómez-Peña, the genre of performance art in general, and their impacts on audiences. Fusco also writes about her use of performance to retaliate against the "Other" label. Fusco's article "Fantasies of Oppositionality" delves into the race, wealth, and sex disparities in visual arts. She explains that underlying prejudice and immigration laws impact such false representations of minorities in art.

"The Revolution is Dead - But Long Lives the State" is a piece by Fusco that explores the aftermath of the Cuban revolution from her perspective as a Cuban in the diaspora.

Her interview Angels, History, and the Poetic Fantasy: An Interview with Wim Wenders is a piece that Fusco co-wrote with Wim Wenders in 1988 that dissects his movie Wings of Desire.

On-line Simulations/ Real-Life Politics is another of Fusco's published works. It is a written discussion with Ricardo Dominguez about his experience staging virtual theatre performances.

El diario de Miranda/ Miranda's Diary (2014) and Pandemic Journal (2020) are two more recent works that highlight current issues.
