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. 606 $aAlexander Hamilton 606 $aHamilaria 606 $aHamilton 606 $aLin-Manuel Miranda 606 $abroadway 606 $ahip hop 606 $ahip-hop 606 $ahistory 606 $amusical 606 $arap 606 $atheater 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 610 $aAlexander Hamilton. 610 $aHamilaria. 610 $aHamilton. 610 $aLin-Manuel Miranda. 610 $abroadway. 610 $ahip hop. 610 $ahip-hop. 610 $ahistory. 610 $amusical. 610 $arap. 610 $atheater. 615 4$aAlexander Hamilton. 615 4$aHamilaria. 615 4$aHamilton. 615 4$aLin-Manuel Miranda. 615 4$abroadway. 615 4$ahip hop. 615 4$ahip-hop. 615 4$ahistory. 615 4$amusical. 615 4$arap. 615 4$atheater. 615 7$aHISTORY / General. 676 $a782.1/4 701 $aAdelman$b Joseph M$01810641 701 $aAllgor$b Catherine$f1958-$01858459 701 $aCullen$b Jim$01144308 701 $aFreeman$b Joanne B.$f1962-$01169418 701 $aHarris$b Leslie M$090104 701 $aHerrera$b Brian Eugenio$01810643 701 $aHerrera$b Patricia$01810644 701 $aHogeland$b William$01798456 701 $aMonteiro$b Lyra$01858460 701 $aO'Malley$b Michael$01810646 701 $aPasley$b Jeffrey L.$f1964-$01482179 701 $aSchocket$b Andrew M$01810647 701 $aWaldstreicher$b David$01658685 701 $aWollman$b Elizabeth L.$f1969-$01124388 702 $aPotter$b Claire Bond$f1958-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 702 $aRomano$b Renee Christine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965166003321 996 $aHistorians on Hamilton$94460799 997 $aUNINA
