Based on impressive research and with extensive analysis of various textual and performance forms including a largely unique set of skits, plays, songs, cultural performances and other popular amusements, Riley shows that Cuba and Haiti were particularly meaningful to the ways that people in the US re-imagined themselves as black or white and that racial positions were renegotiated through what she calls acts of palimpsest: marking and unmarking, racing and erasing difference. Riley’s book demands a reassessment of the importance of the occupations of Cuba and Haiti to US culture, challenging conventional understandings of performance, empire, and race at the turn of the twentieth century.Palgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance HistoryTheater—HistoryTheatre Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010United StatesRace relationsPolitical aspectsCubaRace relationsPolitical aspectsHaitiRace relationsPolitical aspectsUnited StatesForeign relationsCubaHistoryUnited StatesForeign relationsHaitiHistoryCubaForeign relationsUnited StatesHistoryHaitiForeign relationsUnited StatesHistoryCubafastHaitifastUnited StatesfastHistory.fastTheater—History.Theatre History.792.09Riley Shannon Roseauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062361BOOK9910255257003321Performing Race and Erasure2525069UNINA
