{"product_id":"race-and-role-rena-m-heinrich-9781978835535","title":"Race and Role: The Mixed-Race Asian Experience in American Drama","description":"Mixed-race Asian American plays are often overlooked for their failure to fit smoothly into static racial categories, rendering mixed-race drama inconsequential in conversations about race and performance. Since the nineteenth century, however, these plays have long advocated for the social significance of multiracial Asian people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRace and Role: The Mixed-Race Experience in American Drama\u003c\/i\u003e traces the shifting identities of multiracial Asian figures in theater from the late-nineteenth century to the present day and explores the ways that mixed-race Asian identity transforms our understanding of race. Mixed-Asian playwrights harness theater's generative power to enact performances of \"double liminality\" and expose the absurd tenacity with which society clings to a tenuous racial scaffolding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rena M.
