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. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Theatre and Performance History 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aCuba$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aHaiti$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zCuba$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zHaiti$xHistory 607 $aCuba$xForeign relations$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aHaiti$xForeign relations$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aCuba$2fast 607 $aHaiti$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 14$aTheatre History. 676 $a792.09 700 $aRiley$b Shannon Rose$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062361 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255257003321 996 $aPerforming Race and Erasure$92525069 997 $aUNINA
