In \u003ci\u003eMarginalized: Southern Women Playwrights Confront Race, Region, and Gender\u003c\/i\u003e, author Casey Kayser addresses these gaps by examining the work of southern women playwrights, making the argument that representations of the American South on stage are complicated by difficulties of identity, genre, and region. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through analysis of the dramatic texts, the rhetoric of reviews of productions, as well as what the playwrights themselves have said about their plays and productions, Kayser delineates these challenges and argues that playwrights draw on various conscious strategies in response. These strategies, evident in the work of such playwrights as Pearl Cleage, Sandra Deer, Lillian Hellman, Beth Henley, Marsha Norman, and Shay Youngblood, provide them with the opportunity to lead audiences to reconsider monolithic understandings of northern and southern regions and, ultimately, create new visions of the South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Casey Kayser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496835905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496835901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Casey Kayser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993073352959,"sku":"9781496835901","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea6ee5dc-b1e1-42f4-b157-29ddf74a9a21.jpg?v=1683322376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marginalized-casey-kayser-9781496835901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
