Racial Geometries of the Black Atlantic, Asian Pacific and American Theatre

Drawing on original archival research, Racial Geometries... examines popular forms of performance -- from musical theatre and minstrelsy to non-theatrical forms like Chinatown tourism -- to expose how American racial formation between the two world wars was not determined only within national borders but traded on and influenced international dynamics.
