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. . | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | American theatre; popular culture; US imperialism; racism; biracialism; palimpsest theory; military occupa | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-59211-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-95506-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-59211-8Series ISSN 2947-5767 Series E-ISSN 2947-5775 | issn_series | 2947-5767 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
