| Abstract
|
:
|
No Safe Spaces looks at one of the most radical and enduring changes introduced during the Civil Rights era- multiracial and cross-racial casting practices in American theater. Multiracial casting is explored first through its history, then through its artistic, political, and pragmatic dimensions. Next, the book focuses on case studies from the dominant genres of contemporary American theater using a broad array of archival source materials to enhance and illuminate its arguments.--[book cover]
