In recent years, the German stage has been at the forefront of discussions about race, from cases of blackface to fights for better representation within the professional community. These debates frequently invoke larger discussions about the politics of race in German theater and their origins, and beyond. Written by scholars and theater professionals with a wide variety of historical and theoretical expertise, the chapters seek to explore the connections between the German discourse on national theater and emerging ideas about race, analyze how dramaturges deal with older representations of Blackness in current productions, and discuss the contributions Black German playwrights and dramaturges have made to this discourse. Historians question how these plays were staged in their time, while cultural studies scholars contemplate how to interpret the function of race in these plays and how they can continue to be staged today. 517 3 $aRepresentations of race in German-speaking drama and theater 606 $aGerman drama$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aBlack people in literature 606 $aHuman skin color in literature 615 0$aGerman drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aBlack people in literature. 615 0$aHuman skin color in literature. 676 $a832.009/3529 702 $aLayne$b Priscilla 702 $aTonger-Erk$b Lily$f1977- 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan), 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910907201403321 996 $aStaging Blackness$94288721 997 $aUNINA
