Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage
Performing Race and Torture on the Early Modern Stage2008
About this book
Reading Restoration plays through a performance theory lens shows that an analysis of the conjoined performances of torture and race not only reveals the early modern interest in the nature of racial identity, but also how race was initially coded in a paradoxical fashion as both essentially fixed and socially constructed.
