Shakespeare's White Others

Beschreibung

Exploring the racially white 'others' whom Shakespeare illustrates in characters like Hamlet, Antony and the Macbeths â figures who are never quite 'white enough' â this urgent, compelling work shows how such racial categorisation begets anti-Blackness and sustains white supremacy. An essential contribution to Shakespeare and critical race studies.
