Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical has spawned sold-out performances, a triple platinum cast album, and a score so catchy that it is being used to teach U.S. history in classrooms across the country. But just how historically accurate is Hamilton? And how is the show itself making history? Historians on Hamilton brings together a collection of top scholars to explain the Hamilton phenomenon and explore what it might mean for our understanding of America's history. The contributors examine what the musical got right, what it got wrong, and why it matters. Does Hamilton's hip-hop take on the Founding Fathers misrepresent our nation's past, or does it offer a bold positive vision for our nation's future? Can a musical so unabashedly contemporary and deliberately anachronistic still communicate historical truths about American culture and politics? And is Hamilton as revolutionary as its creators and many commentators claim? Perfect for students, teachers, theatre fans, hip-hop heads, and history buffs alike, these short and lively essays examine why Hamilton became an Obama-era sensation and consider its continued relevance in the age of Trump. Whether you are a fan or a skeptic, you will come away from this collection with a new appreciation for the meaning and importance of the Hamilton phenomenon.Alexander HamiltonHamilariaHamiltonLin-Manuel Mirandabroadwayhip hophip-hophistorymusicalraptheaterHISTORY / GeneralbisacshAlexander Hamilton.Hamilaria.Hamilton.Lin-Manuel Miranda.broadway.hip hop.hip-hop.history.musical.rap.theater.Alexander Hamilton.Hamilaria.Hamilton.Lin-Manuel Miranda.broadway.hip hop.hip-hop.history.musical.rap.theater.HISTORY / General.782.1/4Adelman Joseph M1708938Allgor Catherine1708939Cullen Jim1144308Freeman Joanne B1169418Harris Leslie M90104Herrera Brian Eugenio1708940Herrera Patricia1708941Hogeland William1614719Monteiro Lyra D1708942O'Malley Michael1708943Pasley Jeffrey L1482179Schocket Andrew M1681003Waldstreicher David1658685Wollman Elizabeth L1124388Potter Claire Bond1958-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt.Romano Renee Christineedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910816020403321Historians on Hamilton4098300UNINA
