Reframing the Musical: Race, Culture and Identity - Hardcover
by Sarah Whitfield (Editor)
This critical and inclusive edited collection offers an overview of the musical in relation to issues of race, culture and identity. Bringing together contributions from cultural, American and theatre studies for the first time, the chapters offer fresh perspectives on musical theatre history, calling for a radical and inclusive new approach. By questioning ideas about what the musical is about and who it for, this groundbreaking book retells the story of the musical, prioritising previously neglected voices to reshape our understanding of the form.
Timely and engaging, this is required reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of musical theatre. It offers an intersectional approach which will also be invaluable for theatre practitioners.Sarah Whitfield is a Senior Lecturer in Musical Theatre and course leader for the MA in Musical Theatre at the University of Wolverhampton, UK.
