Shakespeare and Latinidad

'This book offers a unique and wonderfully broad collection of essays that introduce the reader to an important and little-known trend in Shakespeare and theatre studies. The editors have included essays by leading theatre artists, playwrights, directors, actors and scholars who celebrate Shakespeare as seen through the multiple perspectives of Latinx Shakespeares as performance, as literature and as community-building through professional and community-based theatre companies from coast to coast.' Jorge Huerta, University of California San Diego A timely and exciting intervention at the intersection of Latinx and Shakespeare Studies Shakespeare and Latinidad is a collection of scholarly and practitioner essays in the field of Latinx theatre that specifically focuses on Latinx productions and appropriations of Shakespeare's plays. It is the first truly comprehensive treatment of this style of adaptation, bringing together the diverse voices working in this field today including leading academics, playwrights and theatre practitioners. This blend of essays and interviews reflects the transdisciplinary synthesis of scholarship, dramaturgy and pedagogy that shapes Latinx engagement with Shakespeare.
