Replete with fresh readings of the plays and poems, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Race\u003c\/em\u003e brings together some of the most important scholars thinking about the subject today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume offers a thorough overview of the most significant theoretical and methodological paradigms such as critical race theory, feminist, and postcolonial studies; a dynamic look at intersections of race with queer, trans, disability, and indigenous studies; and a vibrant array of new approaches from ecocriticism, to animality, and human rights, from book history, to scholarly editing, and repertory studies; and an exploration of Shakespeare and race in our contemporary moment through discussions of political activism, pedagogy, visual arts, film, and theatre. Woven through the collection are the voices of practicing theatre professionals who have grappled with the challenges of race and racism both in performance and in the profession itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatricia Akhimie, \u003cem\u003eDirector, Folger Institute, Folger Shakespeare Library, and Director, RaceB4Race Mentorship Network\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePatricia Akhimie is Director of the Folger Institute at the Folger Shakespeare Library, and Director of the RaceB4Race Mentorship Network.
