Shakespeare and Race Theory

Description
This volume argues that, given a Western propensity to identify Shakespeare's work with “the human”, his drama plays a crucial and constitutive part in the ways race is theorized today. Offering the very first critical overview of the work that has been carried out in Shakespeare and race studies, Arthur L. Little, Jr.'s study reinvigorates the field by suggesting new directions this scholarship may take in the future.
